// PRODUCT
Features
WASTE.LAND ties together discovery, trust, and settlement so abandoned code can change hands safely—from audit to Vault to Scraps.
// FOUNDATION
Core platform
These pieces sit under almost every flow.
THE OVERSEER AUDIT
Automated S.P.E.C.I.A.L. scoring, build checks, dependency map, and necropsy-style narrative per listing.
- Comparable scores across listings
- Optional deeper tiers when you enable them
- Designed to feed the listing page and Vault preview gates
VAULT ESCROW TRUST
Scraps stay locked while the buyer inspects; release or refund follows the agreement for that deal.
- Timeline states: list → contact → escrow → preview → release
- Dispute window and arbitration hooks (policy-level)
- Dashboard shell ready for live escrow data
SCRAPS ECONOMY CREDIT
In-app currency for listings, messages, and trades—keeps spam down and aligns incentives.
- Packs and earn rules defined at launch
- Scraps balance in nav when you are signed in and balance is above zero
- Settlement through Vault, not ad-hoc transfers
// FIND & MATCH
Discovery
Help buyers find the right dead code; help sellers find demand.
FREE AUDIT TIER PLANNED
Run the Overseer on a repo without spending Scraps—ideal for onboarding and first-time visitors.
- Fair use limits keep the tier sustainable
- Same report structure as standard audits, or a defined subset
- Clear path to list the project or upgrade
WANTED BOARD PLANNED
Post what you need, budget in Scraps, and optional tech constraints. Notify sellers whose listings match.
- Matching rules: stack tags, score floor, license type
- Seller opt-in to alerts
- Ties into messaging and Vault when a deal starts
OFFERS THE YARD
Public-facing story for the sell side: audited listings are offers buyers scavenge—mirror to Wanted, which is demand-first.
- Same Overseer, Vault, and Scraps path as any open listing
- Complements Wanted when you already have inventory to list
SPOTLIGHT LISTINGS PLANNED
Time-limited promotions for curated or high-signal listings—rules and slots published by WASTE.LAND.
- Homepage or category placement
- Optional discount band without breaking Vault pricing integrity
- Audit trail for transparency
// SELL SIDE
Listings & pricing
Give sellers flexible ways to move inventory.
PRICE DECAY PLANNED
Optional schedule: Scraps price steps down on a timer until sold or the seller cancels the decay.
- Configurable step size and cadence
- Floor price to protect perceived value
- Buyer sees current ask and next step time
WASTE AUCTION PLANNED
Timed sales in Scraps: list for a fee, then either Scrapfall (price ticks down—first claim wins) or open bids before the clock ends. Vault settles the winner like any deal.
- Listing fee in Scraps; rules in economy docs at launch
- Same Overseer and trust path as fixed-price listings
BUNDLES PLANNED
Combine related listings from one or more sellers into a single offer and checkout path.
- Shared Vault terms or per-asset sub-terms
- Revenue split configuration
- Higher-rank sellers unlock bundle creation (see Ranks)
BUILD CHECK PLANNED
Automated build verification when the stack is supported; each listing shows pass, fail, or skipped.
- Badges for verified builds
- Logs available during preview or after release, per deal terms
- Feeds Overseer confidence signals
// BUY SIDE
Trust & delivery
Reduce regret after the Scraps move.
VAULT PREVIEW PLANNED
Read-only sandbox access for a window defined in the deal—tree browse, key files, no wholesale export until release.
- Time-boxed sessions
- Watermarking and scope limits applied in the preview sandbox
- Clean handoff to full transfer on accept
AI ASSIST PLANNED
Optional add-on: summarize modules, suggest migration steps, or scaffold tests on purchased code—scope varies by plan.
- Never a substitute for legal or security review
- Quota and Scraps pricing per tier
- Audit log of generated suggestions
// PROGRESSION
Account & growth
Ranks unlock perks and signal reputation. Full table lives on the home page.
WASTELAND RANKS DESIGN
Eight titles from Drifter to Wasteland Legend—each step adds concrete benefits (fees, bundles, arbitration, visibility).
- Based on deal count, Scraps volume, and dispute history
- Perks apply automatically as you qualify
LISTING RULES POLICY
What can be listed (code, docs, designs) and what cannot (services, PII, malware) keeps the marketplace defensible.
- Review queue for listings that need a second look
- Repeat offender handling
