Concept + +A trader sells oil in bulk, but the buyer does not immediately divide, move, or pay for all of it at once. + +Instead: + +- the oil remains in a large vessel +- the buyer stores the vessel in his own warehouse +- the buyer absorbs the cost of separating oil into smaller vessels +- the buyer draws down the oil over time +- payment may occur as the oil is used, resold, or measured out + +This separates sale, storage, handling, use, and payment into different moments. + +--- + +## 1. Why It Matters + +A simple model treats a sale as one instant: + +```text +seller delivers goods +buyer pays coin +transaction ends +``` + +This sketch introduces a more realistic structure: + +```text +bulk agreement +custody changes +storage continues +drawdown occurs +handling cost shifts +payment may be staged +risk remains active +``` + +The transaction is not complete merely because the parties agree. + +--- + +## 2. Concepts Combined + +This sketch combines multiple prior primitives: + +- trade requires two locations +- goods have local prices +- cost includes more than purchase price +- profit is sale minus total cost +- delay is economic cost +- liquidity differs from wealth +- credit depends on trust +- non-coin settlement exists +- every venture risks loss +- posture changes by audience + +--- + +## 3. Economic Questions Introduced + +The model must ask: + +- when does title transfer? +- when does custody transfer? +- who pays storage cost? +- who pays handling and separation cost? +- who bears leakage or spoilage risk? +- when is payment due? +- is payment fixed, staged, or tied to drawdown? +- what happens if the buyer uses oil but delays payment? +- does the seller retain a claim until full settlement? +- does the bulk agreement improve future access? + +--- + +## 4. Roman-Visible Example + +A trader brings a large vessel of oil to a buyer in Capua. + +The buyer agrees to take the full amount but does not want the trader to divide it into small vessels. + +The buyer says: + +- store it in my warehouse +- I will provide smaller vessels +- I will pay as oil is drawn out +- I will cover the cost of separation +- you avoid further handling cost + +The trader may accept because immediate handling cost falls. + +But risk remains: + +- payment is delayed +- measurement may be disputed +- leakage may occur +- the buyer may use oil before settling fully +- the seller's capital remains partly tied to the buyer's reliability + +--- + +## 5. Likely Final Layer + +Likely placement: + +`Layer_1--Worked_Examples` + +Reason: + +The concept is not primitive. It is a worked structure combining cost transfer, deferred payment, storage, trust, and risk. + +Potential final file: + +`docs/training/corpus/Layer_1--Worked_Examples/CORPUS-00XX-bulk-sale-with-buyer-drawdown.md` + +--- + +## 6. Correct Model Behavior + +The model should not treat this as a simple completed sale. + +It should separate: + +```text +agreement_made +custody_transferred +storage_assigned +handling_cost_shifted +drawdown_started +partial_payment_received +final_settlement_completed +``` + +Each stage may change risk and value. + +--- + +## 7. Incorrect Model Behavior + +The model should not assume: + +- all payment happens immediately +- storage cost disappears +- the seller has no remaining exposure +- the buyer's warehouse removes all risk +- bulk sale is automatically better +- drawdown equals settlement +- possession always equals full ownership + +--- + +## 8. Success Condition + +If the model sees a bulk sale and asks when custody, handling, storage, payment, and risk each transfer, this sketch has been preserved correctly for later corpus development.
