MD-272 · dPRN SALES PARTNER SCALE · SCP-2721
The Two-Path Sales Scale
Sell the digital asset at £450. At 100 tonnes, switch to material-specific pricing.
This is the partner-facing operating doctrine for dPRN sales. 1 tonne of verified plastic = 1 dPRN. Two paths exist — Path 1 (Digital Asset Sale) is the simple flat £450/dPRN route where the partner just sells the digital instrument and never touches the material, and Path 2 (Material-Backed Bulk Deal) kicks in at 100 tonnes or more, where the price is worked out from the specific polymer's market value at deal time and sovereign-signed-off per closure. The 10-dPRN minimum applies to Path 1. The 8 / 12 / 16 / 18 % commission scale applies to both.
PATH 1 · DIGITAL ASSET SALE (default)
£450 / dPRN
Locked. Non-negotiable. Partner sells the digital instrument only — no material handling, no logistics, no warehouse. Quote freely from 10 dPRN upward. Full commission scale 8 / 12 / 16 / 18 %.
PATH 2 · MATERIAL-BACKED BULK (≥ 100 tonnes)
Material price + premium
Triggered at 100 tonnes or more. Buyer wants the physical material, not just the dPRN. Price is calculated from the specific polymer's current market value (LDPE / HDPE / PET / PP / PVC / PS each price differently) plus sovereign premium. Sovereign signs off the per-deal price. Same 8 / 12 / 16 / 18 % commission applies on the agreed gross.
Both paths share: 8/12/16/18% commission scale · cash within 7 days · partner take whole (per MD-271) · routed through /bounty-submit
Neither path allows: Path 1 below £450/dPRN · any deal below 10 dPRN · Path 2 below current material market price · off-book commissions
⚠ LANE SEPARATION RULE — PATHS RUN PARALLEL BUT NEVER CROSS
Path 1 partners
sell the digital asset only. They are
not authorised to quote, offer, promise or imply that physical material is part of the deal. If a buyer asks "can we also have the actual plastic?" the partner does
one thing only:
"Let me check with the sovereign whether the material is available — I'll come back to you."
Then the partner submits the material query through
/bounty-submit tagged
"PATH-2-CHECK". The sovereign confirms (a) whether the material is actually held, (b) what polymer mix and tonnage, (c) the current market-priced quote.
Only after sovereign confirmation may the partner go back to the buyer with a Path 2 number. No partner ever quotes material on their own. No exceptions.
Why the rule exists: material availability changes weekly. The sovereign holds the live inventory. A partner promising material we don't have breaks trust with the buyer and the system. Quote what you're authorised to quote — the £450 digital asset. Everything else goes through the sovereign first.
Sealed 18 April 2026. Companion to MD-271 (Sparks & Flames — sales commission is a SPARK: paid in full, no deductions from the partner's take). Supersedes any earlier draft mentioning £400, 5-tonne deals, or fixed second pricing band — those numbers are dead. The £450 floor holds for the digital asset. The material market sets the floor for bulk physical deals at 100t+.
0a. The Two Paths in Plain Words
- Path 1 — Digital Asset Sale (default, the easy path). Partner finds a buyer who wants dPRN credits for ESG / compliance / circular accounting purposes. Buyer pays £450/dPRN. Partner never touches the physical plastic. Minimum 10 dPRN. Cash in 7 days. This is what most partners will do.
- Path 2 — Material-Backed Bulk Deal (≥ 100 tonnes). Buyer wants the physical material delivered (e.g. a recycler, a manufacturer needing feedstock). At this volume the deal becomes about the specific polymer's market price, not the flat £450 dPRN price. The sovereign works the price out at deal time using current LDPE / HDPE / PET / PP / PVC / PS market rates plus a sovereign premium for the verification, traceability and dPRN guarantee. Partner submits the lead the same way; sovereign confirms the price; commission still pays on the agreed gross.
The trigger is volume, not the partner's choice. Below 100 tonnes the deal is always Path 1 at £450/dPRN. At 100 tonnes or more, Path 2 opens because the deal economics change — the buyer is buying a material, not a credit, and material has its own price.
0b. Client Combos — Sequenced Revenue from the Whole Ecosystem
A real client almost never buys one thing. They buy a sequence. The partner's job is to spot the combo and submit the lead with the full sequence flagged — sovereign then routes each stage through the right part of the ecosystem (dPRN · Carrot · EPR Shield · Circularity Deed™ · ESG Dream™ · Fully Nourished CIC meals · Material Ledger · Courses · Jobs · Genesis Pool). The 8/12/16/18% commission compounds across every stage of the sequence the partner originated — one lead, multiple revenue streams, one partner getting paid on all of them.
Submission rule: when a partner spots a combo, submit through /bounty-submit tagged "COMBO" with the sequence sketched in the body (e.g. "EPR Shield → 50 dPRN → Circularity Deed → annual ESG Dream"). Sovereign confirms the sequence, prices each stage, and the partner is credited as originator on every stage that closes.
COMBO 1 · THE COMPLIANCE STACK
Client: UK packaging producer hit by EPR fees.
Sequence:
1. EPR Shield diagnostic (compliance gap report) →
2. dPRN purchase Path 1 — usually 25–80 dPRN to cover their shortfall →
3. Circularity Deed™ issued for the year →
4. Annual renewal locked in.
Partner take: commission on stages 2 + 3 + 4 (recurring).
COMBO 2 · THE ESG / INVESTOR STACK
Client: corporate preparing annual ESG / sustainability report.
Sequence:
1. ESG Dream™ baseline assessment →
2. dPRN purchase Path 1 (10–100 dPRN) →
3. CIC meals impact report — 40 meals × tonnage, named beneficiaries →
4. Circularity Deed™ for the annual report →
5. Quarterly ESG Dream™ updates.
Partner take: commission on stages 2 + 4 + 5 (recurring).
COMBO 3 · THE MATERIAL BUYER STACK (Path 2)
Client: recycler or manufacturer needing actual feedstock.
Sequence:
1. PATH-2-CHECK submitted, sovereign confirms availability →
2. Material-priced quote (LDPE/HDPE/PET/PP/PVC/PS market + sovereign premium) →
3. Physical delivery + Material Ledger entry (AML/AMT) →
4. Optional dPRN top-up so buyer holds the digital credit too →
5. Repeat tonnage contract (monthly / quarterly).
Partner take: commission on stages 2 + 4 + 5.
COMBO 4 · THE COUNCIL / PUBLIC-SECTOR STACK
Client: council, NHS trust, university estate.
Sequence:
1. EPR Shield consultation (their estate's exposure) →
2. Multi-stream Material Ledger participation (plastic + compost + textiles + soil) →
3. Bulk dPRN purchase (often Path 2 territory at 100t+) →
4. CIC meals delivered in the same borough — local impact loop →
5. ESG Dream™ borough/estate report annually.
Partner take: commission on stages 3 + 5 (high ticket).
COMBO 5 · THE CARROT SUPPLIER STACK
Client: a supplier of waste plastic, not a buyer.
Sequence:
1. Carrot tier confirmed (MD-268 — Tier 1 UK Local £200, Tier 2 UK Distant £200+ship, Tier 3 International £250–300) →
2. First material delivery → dPRN minted from verified tonnage →
3. 7% Covenant routes to CIC → meals fed → supplier's name on the Life Ledger →
4. Repeat-supplier ladder, partner becomes long-term feed source.
Partner take: finder commission on the supplier (per MD-269 FIND rate £80/1000 + ongoing).
COMBO 6 · THE FRANCHISE / GENESIS POOL STACK
Client: someone who wants to run their own gateway, not just sell.
Sequence:
1. Overstanding University course enrolment (the four-layer curriculum) →
2. Carrot operator licence (their own micro-gateway) →
3. Digital Army onboarding (MD-190 registry entry) →
4. First 10 dPRN sold (Verified Partner status) →
5. Builder → Closer → Anchor ladder, eventually feeds Genesis Pool franchising.
Partner take: originator commission on the course, the licence, and every dPRN the new operator subsequently sells in their first 12 months.
COMBO 7 · THE EDUCATION / INSTITUTION STACK
Client: school, college, MAT, training provider.
Sequence:
1. Course bundle (Learning Garden + H.BLUE Intelligence track) →
2. Student bounty enrolment (FIND/SEND/REPLY/CALL ladder per MD-269) →
3. Micro-Job conversion for top performers (MD-271 §6 ladder) →
4. Institution-branded dPRN purchase + Circularity Deed™ →
5. Annual partnership renewal.
Partner take: commission on stages 1 + 4 + 5.
COMBO 8 · THE MIXED CIRCULAR-MATERIALS STACK
Client: a buyer who needs more than just plastic — they need the whole circular story.
Sequence:
1. Material Ledger (AML/AMT) intake — compost, soil, textiles, food-waste streams alongside plastic →
2. dPRN for the polymer stream + AMT certificates for the other streams →
3. Combined ESG Dream™ report covering all material classes →
4. Circularity Deed™ for the umbrella programme.
Partner take: commission on stages 2 + 3 + 4 — biggest combo in the playbook because every stream pays.
The combo principle: one client, one originating partner, multiple sequenced revenue streams, commission paid on every stage that closes. The partner doesn't have to know how to deliver each stage — that's the sovereign and the ecosystem entities (MPT · H.BLUE Ltd · Fully Nourished CIC · Waltham Caesar Murphy Trust). The partner just has to spot the combo, name the sequence in the lead submission, and bring the buyer to the table. The system delivers. The partner earns across the sequence.
Ecosystem touchpoints referenced above: dPRN (£450/Path 1, market-priced/Path 2) · 7% Covenant → Fully Nourished CIC (40 meals/tonne) · Circularity Deed™ & ESG Dream™ (MD-200) · EPR Shield · Material Ledger AML/AMT · Carrot Tiers 1–4 (MD-268) · Bounty system FIND/SEND/REPLY/CALL (MD-269/270) · Sparks & Flames (MD-271) · Overstanding University & Learning Garden · Digital Army Registry (MD-190) · Genesis Pool franchising · Life Ledger (MD-009).
1. The Pitch (one paragraph)
"You sell dPRN tonnes in batches of 10 or more. Minimum price: £450/tonne. No exceptions. The more you sell, the higher your percentage. 10 tonnes = 8% (£360). 50 tonnes = 12% (£2,700). 100 tonnes = 16% (£7,200). 500 tonnes = 18% (£40,500). The floor is firm. The volume minimum is firm. Everything else is upside."
2. The Commission Scale (locked)
| Deal size |
Gross @ £450/t |
Your % |
Your cash payout |
Tier |
| 10 tonnes | £4,500 | 8% | £360 | Entry |
| 25 tonnes | £11,250 | 10% | £1,125 | Entry |
| 50 tonnes | £22,500 | 12% | £2,700 | Builder |
| 75 tonnes | £33,750 | 14% | £4,725 | Builder |
| 100 tonnes | £45,000 | 16% | £7,200 | Closer |
| 250 tonnes | £112,500 | 17% | £19,125 | Closer |
| 500 tonnes | £225,000 | 18% | £40,500 | Anchor |
| 1,000+ tonnes | £450,000+ | 18% (capped) | £81,000+ | Anchor |
Bold rows are the sealed milestones from the public pitch. Intermediate volumes interpolate up to the next tier — the percentage on a 30-tonne deal is the lower-tier 10% (you cross 50t to unlock 12%). 18% is the ceiling — not because more isn't valued, but because that's where the partner-and-system split locks for sustainability.
3. The Floor — Why It Holds
- £450/tonne is the dPRN minted value. Selling below it would mean the partner is asking the system to lose money on the tonne.
- 10 tonnes is the operational minimum. Below 10t the verification, transport coordination, and CIC routing cost more than the deal earns.
- The floor protects every other partner. If one partner discounts, the whole market expects the discount. One leak sinks the rate for everyone.
- The floor protects the meals. Each tonne sold at £450 routes 7% Covenant — £31.50 — to Fully Nourished CIC, which is roughly 28 meals per tonne. Discount the tonne, you discount the meals.
4. How You Get Paid (the cash flow)
Step 1 — You find a supplier with at least 10 tonnes of eligible plastic available (see §6 for what counts).
Step 2 — You submit the lead at
/bounty-submit using bounty type
FIND, with the supplier's company name, expected tonnage, contact details, and the words "dPRN-LEAD" in the body so the verifier routes it correctly.
Step 3 — Sovereign or verifier confirms the supplier exists, the tonnage is real, and the deal can complete at £450/tonne minimum.
Step 4 — Deal completes. Material moves, dPRN is minted from the verified tonnage, the £450/tonne floor is paid, the 7% Covenant routes to the CIC.
Step 5 — You get paid. Within 7 days of deal completion the commission is sent in cash (bank transfer or agreed equivalent — cheque, in-person, however the partner prefers). You can track the payment status from your bookmarked link at /bounty-status/<your-token>.
No invoices to chase. No 30/60/90 day terms. No clawback. The deal closes, the cash moves. That's the partner promise.
5. The Partner Take Is Whole (MD-271 lock)
Per MD-271 — Sparks & Flames, sales commissions are SPARKS: your percentage is paid in full from the deal proceeds — nothing is deducted from your share.
- The 7% Covenant routes from the gross dPRN sale itself, not from your commission.
- The 8% Jobs Yield does not apply to one-off sales partners (it only applies to ongoing employment — see MD-271 §4).
- If you become a recurring sales partner with a relationship and availability, you may be invited up to a Micro-Job slot (MD-271 §6 conversion ladder), but until then your bounty take is intact.
6. Where to Look for Suppliers (the hunting playbook)
You're looking for businesses sitting on plastic they want gone. Best targets, in order of likelihood:
| Source type | What they have | How to approach |
|---|
| Manufacturing waste | Off-cuts, rejects, end-of-run stock | Industrial estates, plastics fabricators, packaging factories |
| Distribution centres | Pallet wrap, strapping, broken crates | Logistics parks, third-party fulfilment hubs |
| Retail post-consumer | Stretch wrap, display packaging | Supermarket back-of-house, DIY chains, garden centres |
| Local councils | HRC overflow, kerbside contamination | Waste management contracts, transfer stations |
| Existing recyclers | Material they can't process or under-priced bales | MRFs willing to redirect for a better rate |
Companies House lookup confirms the business is real before the verifier signs the lead off — keep the supplier's exact registered name handy in your submission.
7. Anti-Undercut Clauses (sealed)
Clause A — No quoting under £450/tonne, ever. Even to win a deal. If the supplier won't accept £450 they're not eligible. Walk away. The next supplier will take it.
Clause B — No splitting deals to game tiers. A single supplier delivering 100 tonnes counts as one 100-tonne deal at 16%, not ten 10-tonne deals at 8%. Same partner + same supplier within 30 days = aggregated.
Clause C — No "side deals" or off-book commissions. All deals route through the bounty intake system at /bounty-submit. Off-book commissions void the partner's standing and forfeit the cash.
Clause D — Volume minimum is per supplier, per deal. Five 2-tonne deals from five different suppliers do not stack into a 10-tonne qualifying deal. The 10-tonne floor is per closure.
