curious how you'd keep all parties winning at once on the platform (supply&demand& traders maybe?) Are you planning to make money on float / spread / flat fee?
tldr is that the game is not zero sum, it's against the waste in the current setup. Today capacity sits idle on one side while someone overpays for flexibility on the other. An opaque and fragmented market today creates a lot of dead weight loss.
here' what we want to see:
Providers can sell weeks forward at wholesale instead of letting them sit unsold. More of the calendar monetized, revenue known in advance. Great working capital. Buyers can pay for exactly the weeks you use, resell if they change their mind anytimes. providers want long commitments, buyers want short ones. So on Computable, whoever values January less sells it to whoever values it more, and both do better than the lease they'd have signed.
Traders can ofc buy and sell too. They are great for providers and buyers because they help the market run more efficiently.
