💰 Circularity Dividend Share™
Your processing fee determines your dividend tier. Bring the best material — pay the least to process — earn the highest share back. That's the incentive, engineered in.
Premium Material Incentive Based Engineering
🔑 THE CORE LOGIC — THREE LINES
1
Processing fees — not gate fees
You are not paying to enter. You are paying for the verification and processing service. The fee reflects the cost of working with your material — clean material costs less to process. Dirty material costs more.
2
Your fee determines your tier
The processing fee you pay automatically places you in a tier. That tier determines your Circularity Dividend Share™ — the money that comes back to you from the dPRN market.
3
Better material — double win
Bring cleaner material: you pay less AND you earn a higher dividend share. Both levers move in your favour. That's the incentive built into the architecture.
💷 THE FOUR TIERS — PROCESSING FEE → DIVIDEND SHARE
Your Circularity Score™ grades your full journey — from collection point to dPRN mint, open loop or closed loop. That grade determines your tier, your processing fee, and your dividend share. The system is automatic — no negotiation, no gate-keeping.

📐 THE INCENTIVE VISUALISED — WHY SORTING MATTERS
Every improvement across your collection journey saves you money on processing AND moves you to a better dividend tier. The incentive compounds.

The double lever: As your journey quality improves — cleaner collection, tighter chain of custody, better output — the processing fee shrinks AND the dividend activates. These move in opposite directions on purpose. The architecture rewards a better-run loop twice.
🔄 HOW THE MONEY FLOWS
Step 1
Your full client journey is scored by Circularity Score™ — pick to mint, open or closed loop.
Step 2
Your grade determines your tier (Premium → Basic).
Step 3
Your processing fee is confirmed (£60–£260). You pay for the service.
Step 4
A Circularity Deed™ is issued. If Tier 3, a dPRN is minted at £450.
Step 5
Your dividend share is calculated (40–60% based on tier).
Step 6
Your dividend is paid back to you. The Covenant (7%) fires → 40 meals funded.

📊 HOW CIRCULARITY SCORE™ GATES YOUR TIER
The Circularity Score™ activates with your first collection — the moment your intake lands, the engine fires and an opening grade is recorded. From there it runs across your full journey — from collection point to dPRN mint, open loop or closed loop, pick to processing to output. You don't choose your tier — your journey does.
⚡ Sovereign Logistics Bonus — Optional
Use CircularOS logistics for collection and the score engine fires a bonus of up to +10 points. Use your own transport — no bonus. The choice is yours. The bonus is the system's way of rewarding clients who bring us into their loop — tighter chain of custody, cleaner data trail, better grade, lower processing fee.
