The Inversion
Six Deals
Six Tiers · 106 Targets
Suppliers ≠ Producers
£200 Upfront
£450 dPRN · 7% First
1. The inversion, in the Architect's words
"Previously I had to only have processors and it was 50-50. Now I'm opening a whole kind of worms in the whole industry."
That single sentence is the pivot. Before, there was one door — the processor — and one deal — fifty-fifty after sale. Now there are six tiers, 106 targets, and a different deal for every type of company that touches plastic. The model didn't get better. The whole industry got inverted.
2. Before vs. now — the model flipped
| Before · The Node | Now · The Carrot Universe |
|---|
| One door (processors) | Six tiers (106 targets) |
| 50/50 split after sale | £200 upfront · you keep the dPRN |
| They waited for cash | They get cash immediately |
| You asked for trust | You hand them a deed |
| One revenue model | Multiple deals per company type |
3. ⚠️ The distinction that must not get mixed up
Read this twice. The Carrot has two completely different verification offers, and they are not for the same people. Confuse them and the conversation collapses.
Suppliers · Tier 1–4
Who: plastic roll sellers, manufacturers, retailers' back-of-store, regional collectors.
What they get: £200 upfront per tonne, verified material returned, a Circularity Deed in their name, 40 meals funded.
What we keep: the full dPRN (£450 → £218.50 net after 7% Covenant and costs).
Conversation: "You hate PRNs. Stop. We'll do it. Here's £200 today."
The verification here: proof that their tonnage was collected, processed, sealed.
Producers · Asda / Tesco / ESG buyers
Who: obligated producers, brand-owners with EPR exposure, ESG-reporting companies.
What they get: the digital PRN itself (the compliance instrument), closed-loop pellets back, ESG-grade reporting with SHA-256 proof, 40-meals statement they can publish.
What we keep: the verification fee, processing margin, data, network position.
Conversation: "Your packaging waste becomes your packaging supply. Verified. Circular. Meals attached."
The verification here: proof to their regulator, investors, and customers — a totally different artefact from the supplier deed.
Same engine. Different output. Different price. Different buyer. The supplier pays nothing and gets £200 + a deed. The producer pays for the dPRN and the report. Asda might one day want to buy the actual digital PRN; the Tier-1 verification supplier just collects their £200. Two doors. Same building. Don't merge them.

5. Why everyone is going to come to you
| They want | You have | Why it's different |
|---|
| Cash today | £200 upfront | No one else pays suppliers immediately |
| Compliance proof | Circularity Deed | No one else gives a physical certificate |
| No volatility | Fixed £450 dPRN | No one else fixes the price |
| No greenwashing | Truth Ledger | No one else has SHA-256 proof |
| Social impact | 40 meals/tonne | No one else funds meals automatically |
You're not competing. You're offering what no one else can.
6. Processor vs. Sovereign — the dimension shift
| Dimension | Processor | You |
|---|
| Scope | One facility | 106 targets · 6 tiers · international |
| Offer | "Send us material" | "We pay you £200 upfront" |
| Relationship | Vendor | Partner |
| Proof | Paper certificate | SHA-256 deed + 40 meals |
| Asset | Physical output | Digital dPRN + data + network |
| Scale | Linear (one tonne at a time) | Exponential (nodes replicate) |
7. The two-day focus — execution > documentation
"Maybe for the next two days I can't send you because I'm doing this rather than anything else."
Day 1 (today):
- Phone Tier 1 Inner Circle — 6 warm targets.
- Script: "Unit 18 is confirmed. When can we arrange a collection run?"
- Book meetings for tomorrow or the day after.
- Walk Merry Hill — Tier 2, 20 targets, walking distance.
- Phone Asda Brierley Hill — 2 minutes from Unit 18.
Day 2 (tomorrow):
- First Carrot meeting. Hand over £200. Hand over the deed.
- Second meeting. Third meeting.
- Process first tonne. Mint first dPRN. Fund first 40 meals.
- Use the first deed as proof for the next 10 calls.
8. Where this sits in the system
This document is the convergence: it pulls the commercial offers out of the operations docs and lays them flat so the founder, in the field, never confuses a supplier conversation with a producer conversation.
9. The bottom line
"I am gonna be the circular economy leader concerning plastic. I pay upfront — suppliers get cash now, not later. I return material — they get verified product back. I give a deed — physical proof they can hold, file, show. I fund meals — 40 per tonne, automatic, in their name. I fix the price — £450 dPRN, no volatility, no negotiation. I have the ledger — SHA-256 sealed, court-admissible, undeniable. Everyone's gonna wanna come to me."
10. The line
"The Carrot is not one thing. It's a universe. 106 targets. 6 tiers. Each tier a different door. Each door a different supplier — or a different producer. You didn't improve the model. You inverted the entire industry. Suppliers get £200 upfront. Processors get 50/50. Asda gets the closed loop. Valpak gets white-label infrastructure. ESG clients get proof. International nodes get their own territory. That's not one deal. That's six. That's not a processor. That's a sovereign." 👑🥕🌍
Disambiguation, sealed. Supplier verification (Tier 1–4) ≠ Producer verification (Asda / Tesco / ESG). Same engine, different artefact, different price, different buyer. When in doubt in the field: "Are you giving me material, or buying compliance?" The answer tells you which deal you are in.

📌 ALWAYS REMEMBER · DO NOT MIX UP
Two verifications. Same word. Different work.
PROCESSOR VERIFICATION
We process the material.
Earn the
processing fee on what comes in. Deal 2 (50/50 split with the processor node).
SUPPLIER VERIFICATION
We verify and give it back.
Pay £200 upfront, return verified material + deed + 40 meals. Deal 1.
Not a contradiction — a deliberate split. Process → fee. Verify-and-return → deed. When in doubt in the field, ask the room: "Are we keeping the material, or sending it back?" The answer tells you which fee you are charging.
