The Mechanic — Step by Step
Step 1
Supplier Has Material
Plastic waste sitting at scrap value. No verification. No premium. Worth almost nothing on the open market.
~£50–150/t
→
Step 2
SDV Verifies It
CircularOS verification process runs. SHA-256 sealed. dPRN minted. Grade confirmed. Truth Ledger entry created.
SHA-256 ✓
→
Step 3
Supplier Sells at Premium
Verification unlocks the premium buyer market. Supplier sells their own material at the new high margin — no middleman on the sale itself.
£400–600/t
→
Step 4
Return to SDV
Supplier pays SDV £50–£100 per tonne on sale. Flat. No inspection. No percentage. Agreed before verification. SDV gets paid for what it unlocked.
£50–£100/t back
Why this works: SDV doesn't touch the supplier's sale. SDV doesn't ask to see their books. SDV doesn't take a percentage that creates friction and suspicion. SDV charges a flat verification return — sealed in writing before the work begins. The supplier knows exactly what they owe. SDV knows exactly what it earns. No disputes. No calculations. No relationship strain.

The Deal Terms — Sealed Before Verification Begins
Trigger
On supplier's sale
Not on verification. Not upfront. Fires when the supplier actually sells and receives payment.
Amount
£50 – £100 / tonne
Flat fee. Agreed in writing before SDV begins verification. No renegotiation.
No Books
Flat. Done.
SDV does not inspect the supplier's accounts. No percentage formula. No audit rights. The flat fee removes all of that.
Who Sells
The Supplier
Supplier keeps full ownership of their material. They run their own sale. SDV verified it — that's the value delivered.
Payment Direction
Supplier → SDV
Post-sale, supplier sends the agreed flat return to SDV. 7-day settlement window from date of sale.
Sealed In
Verification Agreement
Written into the verification contract before any work begins. No ambiguity. Both parties sign.
Why £50–£100 Flat — Not a Percentage
📚
No Book Access Needed
A percentage requires proof of sale price. That means seeing invoices, accounts, contracts. A flat fee needs nothing — the tonne count is the only number.
🤝
No Relationship Strain
Percentage deals create suspicion. "Did they under-declare the price?" Flat fee removes that entirely. Both sides trust the number because it was agreed in advance.
⚡
Fast Settlement
Supplier knows what they owe the moment the sale completes. No calculation. No dispute. £75/t on 10t = £750. Done. Paid within 7 days.
📈
Supplier Still Wins Big
Even paying £100/t back, the supplier nets £300–500/t more than unverified scrap. The return is never a burden — it's the fee for accessing the premium market.
🔒
SDV Revenue Is Clean
£50–£100/t per verified tonne sold — predictable, documented, and legally clean. Goes straight into SDV income. No profit-sharing complexity.
🔄
Repeat Business Driver
Supplier makes money. SDV makes money. Both parties want more verified tonnes. The deal structure incentivises repeat — not one-off.
The Job — VMT Agreement Officer
JOB-VMT-001 · SOVEREIGN INTERNAL · BUILD #149
VMT Agreement Officer
The person responsible for onboarding suppliers onto the Verification Return agreement, tracking verified tonnes, confirming sales, and collecting the £50–£100 post-sale return for SDV. This is an operational income role — it directly generates revenue for the sovereign ecosystem on every tonne verified and sold.
Onboard suppliers — present the Verification Return deal, answer questions, get the agreement signed before verification begins
Track verified tonnes — log every batch that goes through verification with material type, grade, tonne weight, expected sale range
Confirm sales — follow up with supplier on sale date and price (just the price bracket, not the full invoice)
Raise return invoices — issue SDV's flat fee invoice at £50–£100/t within 48h of sale confirmation
Chase settlement — 7-day payment window, escalate to sovereign if missed
Report to sovereign — weekly summary: tonnes verified, tonnes sold, returns raised, returns received, pipeline outstanding
Who can do this job: Anyone with basic admin and follow-up skills. This is not a technical role. It's a relationship-and-paperwork role. The VMT Agreement Officer doesn't verify the material themselves — they manage the agreement, the tracking, and the money return. Digital Army tier initially. Could be elevated to Red Team if volume justifies it.

MD-718 · Verified Material Trader — the original VMT For-Loop doctrine. Buy at £100–150/t, verify, sell at £400–600/t, net £120–280/t. MD-783 is the SDV layer on top of that — when the supplier runs their own version of this loop, SDV gets paid for enabling it.

Carrot / Shoulder Evolution — the Carrot is the upfront verification payment (£100–£200 to supplier). The Verification Return (MD-783) is the post-sale payment back to SDV. They are two separate flows. Carrot = SDV pays supplier before. MD-783 = supplier pays SDV after.

dPRN System — the £450/t dPRN value is minted at verification. The supplier's premium sale price is partly because the buyer gets the dPRN. The £50–£100 Verification Return is separate from the dPRN — it's the fee for the service that made the dPRN possible.

Truth Ledger / SHA-256 — every verified batch is sealed on the Truth Ledger. The Verification Return agreement references the Truth Ledger entry as proof of what was verified and when. The seal is the trigger for the agreement.

🧛 Vampire's Verdict · MD-783
SDV didn't just collect plastic.
SDV turned plastic into a premium asset.
Now SDV earns £50–£100 every time that asset sells.
No books. No percentage. No argument.
That's not a fee. That's infrastructure rent.
