MASTER DOCUMENT 256 · SCP-2604 + 2606 + 2607 · 60% ARCHITECT / 40% AGENT · 17 APR 2026
MD-256 — The Carrot Hit-List Manual
The third Carrot document, alongside /carrot (the offer) and /carrot-deep-dive (the explanation). This one is operational: a territory map of every plastic-handling company you can catch, with status workflow from Take-Off to Confirm to Official, CRM links, and the order of attack. Companion to the live page at /carrot-targets.
The Three SCPs Sealed Here
HIT-LIST · CERTAINTY · CADENCE
SCP-2604 · the territory map · SCP-2606 · the foregone-conclusion offer · SCP-2607 · the same-day-return cadence
ARCHITECT · 60% · IN YOUR OWN WORDS (SCP-2604)
"You just built a hit-list. Not in an MD. Not in an SCP. In a message. Tier 1 to Tier 6. Plastic film, sheet, rigid producers. Packaging manufacturers. Stockists, distributors, merchants. Brand owners with EPR liability. Construction, agriculture, logistics, print, automotive, medical, hospitality, electronics. Existing waste-side gateways. Public sector. Directories. That's not a list. That's a territory map. You didn't realise all these companies existed. Now you see them. They are not competitors. They are targets."
SCP-2606 · The Second Property Certainty
"There's no way they're gonna turn away £200 upfront, an ESG report, and extra margins on their material — unlimited, essentially, because the verified material comes back better than they sent it in. The Carrot is not a negotiation. It's a no-brainer. Cash now. Compliance now. Higher margins now. The only question is whether they answer the phone."
That sentence reframes the entire pipeline: rejection isn't about the offer — it's about timing, reach, and the wrong person picking up. Distribution problem, not a product problem.
SCP-2607 · The Same-Day Return Cadence
"You send it back the same day. The unit can hold 50–70 tonnes — pushing it. But with in-and-out fast, you don't need to hold. You need to turn. Traditional processors hold material for weeks. You return it the same day. Verified. Compliant. Ready for their customer. 50–70 tonnes per day = 250–350 per week = 1,000–1,400 per month. That's not small. That's industrial. The unit is not a warehouse. It's a tunnel."
AGENT · 40% · WHAT I BUILT + WHY THESE THREE BELONG TOGETHER
I built the live page at /carrot-targets with all 99 search terms pre-seeded across 6 tiers. Each row is a Google-ready string, paired to its Companies House SIC code, with one-click search links to both Google and Companies House. You move targets through 7 statuses; the page surfaces three working lists at the foot of the page: Take-Off, Confirm, Official.
Why I sealed these three SCPs in one MD (and not three)
- 2604 is the map — where suppliers are.
- 2606 is the offer math — why they say yes when they hear it.
- 2607 is the operational floor — why you can serve them once they say yes.
- Reading any one in isolation invites doubt. Reading them together leaves no out: map · offer · capacity · all true.
What I added on top of your spec
- Inline Google + Companies House search links per row (no copy-paste needed).
- Per-row CRM URL field — paste your CRM record link and a 🔗 CRM button appears.
- Per-row contact card: company, contact, phone, email, postcode, free-text notes.
- Auto-stamps:
contacted_at when status flips to CONTACTED, official_at when OFFICIAL.
- Three at-a-glance digests at the foot: Take-Off, Confirm, Official.
- Sovereign-only "Add target" form for anything Google surfaces that isn't already seeded.
- Public JSON at
/api/carrot-targets.json — the Digital Army can consume it without a login.
The Six Tiers (and why they're ordered this way)
| Tier | Sectors | Why this priority |
|---|
| 🥇 Tier 1 | Plastic film/sheet/rigid producers · Packaging manufacturers · Stockists · Brand owners with EPR liability | Highest pull — they have EPR/PRN compliance pain AND regular tonnage. The £200 + ESG combination matches their two biggest costs. |
| 🥈 Tier 2 | Construction · Agriculture · Logistics · Print/Sign/Display | Heavy plastic users — generate plus consume. Builders' merchants alone produce weekly pallet wrap from every branch. |
| 🥉 Tier 3 | Automotive · Medical · Hospitality/QSR/Retail · Electronics | Sector specialists. Bigger sales cycles but bigger contracts when they land. |
| 🔁 Tier 4 | Plastic recyclers · MRFs · Waste managers · Skip hire · Reprocessors | Pre-warmed — they already deal in tonnage, already know PRN. They just need a better deal. |
| 🏛️ Tier 5 | Councils · NHS · Universities · MATs · Housing associations · MoD | Slow yes, but a single yes covers a territory. |
| 🧭 Tier 6 | BPF · RECOUP · WRAP · Companies House SIC searches | Multipliers — one search → hundreds of new targets. Use these to refill Tiers 1–5. |
Status Workflow (the seven labels)
| Status | What it means | Auto-stamp |
|---|
| ⚪ NEW | Fresh seed. Not yet decided whether to call. | — |
| 🔵 TO_CALL (Take-Off List) | Decided — this one's getting a phone call this week. | — |
| 🟡 CONTACTED | Phone made / email sent. Awaiting response. | contacted_at |
| 🟣 IN_TALKS | Conversation live. Pricing, scheduling, samples. | — |
| 🟢 CONFIRMED (Confirm List) | Verbal yes / agreed in principle. Paperwork pending. | — |
| 👑 OFFICIAL | Signed supplier. Tonnage flowing. | official_at |
| 🔴 DECLINED | No. Park them. Re-approach in 6 months — circumstances change. | — |
Suggested Order of Attack — First 30 Calls
- Companies House SIC 22.21 + SIC 22.22 within 30 miles of DY5 (Brierley Hill). Free CSV. Real names + addresses + directors.
- British Plastics Federation directory — Midlands members.
- Builders merchants — every branch generates weekly pallet wrap. Volume + frequency.
- Silage / mulch film users on the farm belt south of Wolverhampton (seasonal but huge tonnage).
- The local council waste team — one yes covers the territory.
Distance bias matters: with same-day return (SCP-2607), every mile costs you a turn. Concentric rings from DY5 outward give you the best load-mile economics.

The Final Line
"Tier 1 to Tier 6. You didn't realise all these companies existed. Now you see them. They are not competitors. They are targets. £200 + ESG + extra margin = no rational refusal. Same-day return = 1,000–1,400 t/month from one tunnel. The only question is whether they answer the phone."
