The Carrot White-Label Doctrine

A new revenue stream. Partners brand the Carrot. You keep the protocol.

Sealed 19 April 2026 · The Carrot becomes a force multiplier — distribution without dilution.

§1 · Why The Carrot Specifically

The Carrot looks like an offer. It is actually a verification-as-a-service engine wearing a payment as a costume.

Anatomy of a single Carrot transaction:

£200 upfront to the supplier — the bait that gets the door open
18-point verification happens to their material — the protocol nobody else runs
1 dPRN minted at £450 per tonne — the digital asset that nobody else creates
7% Covenant routes to Fully Nourished CIC — 40 meals per tonne
Circularity Deed issued with named meals beneficiaries — ESG-grade paper

The supplier sees one number: £200. The system sees five layers of value creation. That gap is the white-label opportunity.

§2 · The Split — What You Keep vs What They Brand

Component	Who Owns It	Who Brands It (Customer-Facing)
£200 upfront payment	YOU collect & distribute (or partner collects + remits)	PARTNER logo on payment confirmation
18-point verification protocol	YOU — the secret sauce	PARTNER logo on verification dashboard
dPRN minting (£450/tonne)	YOU — never delegated	—
7% Covenant routing	YOU — non-negotiable	PARTNER name on the meals statement
Circularity Deed issuance	YOU — sovereign-only	PARTNER logo on the deed
Truth Ledger entry	YOU — immutable, your name in the metadata	Public hash, partner-attributable
Supplier relationship	PARTNER — they own the contact	PARTNER entirely

The principle: protocol stays sovereign, relationship goes to partner. You can never be cut out — without your verification, mint, Covenant and deed there is no Carrot. Without their relationship, there is no flow.

§3 · Three Commercial Models

Model	How It Works	Sovereign Revenue (Indicative)	Best For
A · Per-Tonne Royalty	Partner pays a flat royalty for every Carrot transaction. No monthly fee.	£25 – £50/tonne on top of dPRN	New partners testing volume. Pay-as-you-grow.
B · Subscription	Partner pays a fixed monthly fee for unlimited Carrot transactions (within fair-use cap).	£1,500 – £6,000/month tier-based	Established operators with predictable supplier flow.
C · Hybrid	Lower monthly retainer + lower per-tonne royalty. Predictable base + upside.	£800/mo + £15/tonne illustrative	Serious partners scaling from pilot to volume.

All three models stack on top of MD-280's main white-label tiers — a partner on Growth (£10k/mo) can add Carrot Model A as an extra revenue line. The Carrot is a module, not a replacement.

§4 · Sample Economics — One Carrot Transaction (1 Tonne)

Line Item	Amount	Direction
dPRN value minted	£450	Asset created (sovereign-held)
Supplier upfront payment	−£200	Outgoing (or partner collects & remits)
7% Covenant → Fully Nourished CIC	−£31.50	To meals (40 meals funded)
Net dPRN value retained	£218.50	Sovereign treasury
+ Carrot white-label royalty (Model A indicative)	+£25 – £50	Sovereign treasury
Total sovereign per Carrot tonne	£243.50 – £268.50	—
Partner margin (Model A)	£25 – £50/tonne arbitrage on supplier sourcing	—
Supplier value	£200 cash + 40 attributed meals + verified material status	—

Standard Carrot economics remain unchanged. The white-label royalty is a new revenue line layered on top — not a replacement.

§5 · Why It Scales (The Four Reasons)

1 · It's the most sellable offer. Suppliers understand £200 upfront. They don't need to understand dPRN, Covenant, or the deed. Partner explains £200, sovereign handles the rest. Friction = zero.

2 · It scales without sovereign attention. Every white-label partner becomes a distribution channel. They source suppliers. You verify. The flywheel turns regardless of your daily presence.

3 · It protects the sovereign brand. The supplier never needs to hear the sovereign's name. They deal with the partner. The partner deals with the protocol. Brand exposure is opt-in.

4 · It is already built. The Carrot is live (/the-carrot). Verification is live. Deed is live. Covenant is live. You're not building a new product — you're opening a door on a finished one.

§6 · Anti-Dilution Clauses

A · No Carrot below £200 upfront. The supplier-facing floor is sealed. Partners cannot run a "discount Carrot" — that breaks the verification covenant.

B · No Carrot without verification. Every Carrot transaction must run the full 18-point verification. No partner can offer a "Carrot Lite" that skips checks.

C · No Carrot without Covenant. 7% to Fully Nourished CIC is non-negotiable. A Carrot without meals is not a Carrot.

D · No deed without sovereign issuance. Partners brand the deed; the sovereign issues it. Counterfeit deeds void the licence.

E · No supplier poaching. Sovereign does not approach partner-introduced suppliers directly. The relationship belongs to the partner. Sovereign owns the protocol; partner owns the contact.

§7 · Partner Onboarding — 6 Steps

Enquiry — partner registers interest (link from /white-label).
Model selection — Model A, B, or C chosen.
Brand kit submitted — partner logo, colours, payment-confirmation copy, deed-cover artwork.
Sandbox deployment — partner tests one transaction end-to-end on staging.
Go-live — branded Carrot portal published; first real supplier paid.
Royalty cycle begins — monthly invoice (Model A & C) or subscription debit (Model B).

§8 · How This Connects To The Wider Doctrine

→ MD-280 defines the three white-label models for the core engine. MD-281 extends those models to the Carrot specifically, the most sellable single product inside the engine.

→ MD-279 (The Bridge) says Internal × External = closed-loop circulation. The Carrot is the External half. White-labelling it multiplies that bridge by every partner who joins.

→ MD-274 (The Doors) lists 10 sovereign doors. Carrot White-Label is now Door 11 — the first new revenue stream born from the white-label doctrine.

→ MD-268 (One Model · Four Tiers) defines the Carrot's four upstream tiers (Local, Distant, International, Material Sourcer). White-labelling is orthogonal — a partner can white-label any or all four tiers.

The Sealed Line

"White-label the Carrot. They brand it. They sell it. They collect the £200.
You verify. You mint the dPRN. You fund the meals. You issue the deed.
They keep the relationship. You keep the protocol.
That's not a partnership. That's a force multiplier."
