NAMA Commercial Operating Model

Version: 1.0
Status: Documentation & Demo Layer — Phase 1 / Phase 2 Planning
Project: NAMA — Global Trust Infrastructure for Sustainable Food Systems

⚠️ Non-binding disclaimer: All revenue-share percentages, fee structures, and stakeholder arrangements described in this document are illustrative concepts for planning and demonstration purposes only. They do not constitute a legal agreement, a financial commitment, or a contractual obligation of any kind. Final commercial terms will be negotiated separately in each partnership. Nothing in this document affects the NAMA smart-contract code, deployment pipeline, or on-chain logic.

Overview

NAMA generates value at three structural layers of the food supply chain:

Layer Mechanism Phase
Procurement cost reduction AII scoring + verified sourcing Phase 2
Circular recovery monetisation Surplus food → secondary value chains Phase 2–3
Strategic supplier participation Preferred terms for long-term partners Phase 3–4

These models are documented here as a commercial planning reference. No payment contracts, revenue-splitting logic, or financial settlement code exists in the current codebase.

Model 1 — Shared Savings Procurement Model

Target stakeholders

  • Institutional food buyers (hospitals, airlines, hotel chains, universities)
  • Municipal procurement offices

Concept

Traditional food procurement pays a fixed contract price with no visibility into whether the supply chain is delivering value beyond the face price. NAMA introduces a verified savings layer:

  1. Buyer procures through the NAMA marketplace using AII-qualified listings.
  2. NAMA's AII engine measures verifiable quality signals (certifications, telemetry, traceability events).
  3. Where NAMA-sourced procurement demonstrably costs less than the buyer's conventional baseline, a savings-share arrangement applies.

Stakeholder flow

Conventional procurement cost (baseline)
        │
        ▼
NAMA procurement cost (AII-qualified sourcing)
        │
        ▼
Verified savings = conventional cost − NAMA cost
        │
        ├── Buyer retains majority of savings
        └── NAMA participates in a configurable share of verified savings

Illustrative demo values

Item Value
Conventional procurement cost (demo) $108,000 / quarter
NAMA procurement cost (demo) $82,000 / quarter
Verified savings $26,000 / quarter
NAMA savings-share (demo rate — configurable) 15% of verified savings
NAMA revenue from savings-share $3,900 / quarter
Buyer net saving $22,100 / quarter

These values are demo placeholders. They use no real customer names, no real prices, and no real contracts.

What is implemented now

  • AII score calculation and display (Phase 2K) ✅
  • Procurement insights panel on the Enterprise Dashboard ✅
  • Demo panel showing conventional cost vs NAMA cost vs verified savings (this release) ✅

What is future

  • Live savings calculation against buyer's own ERP baseline (Phase 3)
  • Contractual savings-share terms negotiated per enterprise client (Phase 3–4)
  • On-chain savings attestation (optional — Phase 4)

Model 2 — Circular Recovery Revenue Share Model

Target stakeholders

  • Municipalities and waste management bodies
  • Cloud kitchens, hospital catering, airline catering
  • Animal feed producers, composting facilities, bioenergy operators

Concept

Surplus, spoiled, or non-retail food is routed into verified secondary value chains (animal feed, compost, bioenergy) via the NAMA Circular Economy Engine. Revenue generated from these secondary channels is shared between:

Party Share Notes
Municipality / recovery partner 50% Primary recovery operator
NAMA Protocol 40% Platform infrastructure + routing
Cooperating institution 10% Cloud kitchen, hospital, or airline contributing the surplus

This split is a configurable commercial model, not a hardcoded rule. Individual partnership agreements may use different splits. The 40/50/10 example is a planning reference only.

Stakeholder flow

        ▼
Secondary sale generates circular recovery revenue
        │
        ├── 50% → Municipality / recovery partner
        ├── 40% → NAMA Protocol
        └── 10% → Contributing institution

Illustrative demo values

Item Value
Circular routes completed (demo) 2 routes
kg diverted (demo) 60.5 kg
Estimated circular recovery revenue (demo) $1,210
Municipality / recovery partner share (50%) $605
NAMA share (40%) $484
Contributing institution share (10%) $121

These values are demo placeholders. No real revenue splits, no payment contracts, no financial settlement logic exists in the codebase.

What is implemented now

  • Circular diversion routes recorded via recordPassportEvent on DPP.sol ✅
  • Circular Economy Engine page with route tracking and ESG badges ✅
  • Demo panel showing circular recovery revenue breakdown (this release) ✅

What is future

  • Verified secondary-market revenue calculation (Phase 3)
  • Automated revenue routing via smart contract (optional — Phase 4)
  • Per-partnership configurable split parameters (Phase 3)

Model 3 — Strategic Supplier Participation Model

Target stakeholders

  • Producers, cooperatives, and long-term supplier partners
  • Agricultural SMEs and regional food hubs

Concept

Suppliers who build a verified track record on NAMA — through DPP creation, telemetry data, certifications, and marketplace participation — may receive preferred participation terms in future phases.

No exact future percentages are defined at this time. Strategic supplier benefits will be negotiated in Phase 3–4 commercial partnership discussions.

Tiers (planning reference only)

Tier Criteria Future benefit direction
Standard Registered producer with at least one active DPP Access to NAMA marketplace and AII scoring
Preferred AII grade B+ · at least one active certification · 3+ verified telemetry events Priority listing placement · future fee reduction
Strategic Long-term producer agreement · circular route participation · heritage vault entry Phase 3–4 participation benefits (to be defined)

Tier assignments are currently simulated in the demo layer. No on-chain tier logic exists.

What is implemented now

  • AII score and grade per batch (Phase 2K) ✅
  • Heritage Vault entries (Phase 2M) ✅
  • Supplier participation tier type definitions (this release) ✅

What is future

  • Supplier tier-based fee schedule (Phase 3)
  • On-chain participation benefit events (Phase 4)

Phase Placement Summary

Commercial model Current phase Demo representation Contract required Live revenue
Shared Savings Procurement Phase 2 planning ✅ Demo panel (read-only) ❌ No ❌ No
Circular Recovery Revenue Share Phase 2 planning ✅ Demo panel (read-only) ❌ No ❌ No
Strategic Supplier Participation Phase 3–4 planning ✅ Type definitions only ❌ No ❌ No

What is NOT in the codebase

The following are explicitly not implemented and not planned for Phase 1 or Phase 2:

  • Payment contracts or revenue-splitting smart contracts
  • Real financial settlement or fiat/token disbursement logic
  • Legal commercial agreements or binding terms
  • Mainnet financial operations
  • Real customer names, real prices, or real contractual counterparties
