# SKETCH-0001
## Bulk Sale With Buyer Drawdown
### Status: Training Corpus Sketch
### Layer: Layer_Sketches--Unsorted
### Purpose: Preserve a brainstormed concept for later placement in the training corpus
### Repository Path: docs/training/corpus/Layer_Sketches--Unsorted/SKETCH-0001-bulk-sale-with-buyer-drawdown.md
### Proposed Future File: CORPUS-0001-bulk-sale-with-buyer-drawdown.md

## 0. 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.
