One person, one district, and residue that is currently burned in the field

ResidueWorks exists to move crop residue off fields around Ayodhya and into industrial boilers that would otherwise burn coal. Every November the alternative is that it is set alight where it lies, because clearing a field costs a farmer money and burning it costs nothing.

It is one person at the moment, which decides a great deal. It means starting with the line that pays for itself soonest — baling and supplying residue — and running it out of Masodha, Rauzagaon and Khurja rather than promising a state.

The rest follows from the same yards. A mill that sells us husk has a canteen producing used cooking oil with nowhere to go, a coal-fired boiler that could be converted, and a listed customer beginning to ask for emissions data it cannot produce. Four separate companies would each have to earn that mill's trust from scratch. That is the reason to build one counterparty book and add lines to it, and the reason the software was written that way before the second line exists.
