SYSTEM OVERVIEW

The Salvage runs five connected stages: listing, inspection, commitment, pickup, and outcome attestation.

LISTING NORMALIZATION

Supply posts include item class, weight, condition, location, and expiry horizon to make matching deterministic.

LIVE INSPECTION LAYER

WebRTC verification reduces quality disputes before trucks move, cutting wasted miles and failed handoffs.

COMMITMENT CONTRACT

Pickup windows and penalties align incentives, reducing no-shows and protecting both sides of the exchange.

CUSTODY + TRACEABILITY

Each transfer event is logged, forming a verifiable chain from source inventory to transformed product.

RECOVERY FALLBACK

If food cannot be salvaged for consumption, it routes to compost and renewable gas pathways instead of landfill.

Result: measurable reliability, lower disposal cost, and evidence-grade operational transparency.

OPERATIONAL TRUST

The Salvage is not a feed. It is a protocol for moving surplus into value with less friction, less waste, and tighter accountability.
