What this adds

A community catalogue entry: Amazon DSP — Amazon's Delivery Service Partner program modeled as an ontology. 14 entity types · 19 relationships · 38 properties.

catalogue/community/daocoding/amazon-dsp/

The model

The DSP program is one of the cleanest public examples of a business-in-a-box, and the ontology makes its structure explicit:

  • The franchisor side: Amazon selects Candidates (leaders, not logistics experts — prior experience deliberately not required), provides the Playbook, assigns Routes, pays Payouts — and keeps the Customer relationship.
  • The founder track: Candidate becomes DSPOwner (one-to-one — the transformation the program sells), who founds a DSPBusiness and is coached by an assigned BusinessCoach.
  • The growth mechanic: the business hires Drivers and leases Vans — scaling by headcount, not by the owner driving more. Fleet capped around 40 vans; the ceiling is modeled as part of the deal, not hidden.
  • The steering loop: a weekly Scorecard (standings enum uses Amazon's actual tiers, Fantastic Plus → Poor) rates the business and determines the Payout (fixed monthly / per-route / per-package / bonus).

All figures are the program's public marketing facts (startup ~$10K, revenue potential $1M–$4.5M, launched 2018).

Validation

  • npm run catalogue:build succeeds — the entry compiles into public/catalogue.json
  • metadata.json conforms to catalogue/metadata-schema.json (category: general)
  • RDF follows existing community conventions (ont:cardinality, ont:fromEntityId/ont:toEntityId, ont:propertyType, ont:enumValues, ont:isIdentifier, ont:unit)

Amazon's DSP program as a business-in-a-box ontology: 14 entity types,
19 relationships, 38 properties. The franchisor supplies brand, demand,
playbook and coach; the operator supplies leadership and a team. Public
program facts throughout (startup cost, revenue range, fleet cap,
scorecard tiers).
