Clear answers on how Marshall Fuel Intelligence operates, what it does, and what it does not do.
This FAQ clarifies MFI's operating boundaries, access model, and MERCO framework for participants, partners, and reviewers who require structured, compliance-aware understanding before engagement.
Executive answers in regulator-conscious language. MFI is positioned as intelligence infrastructure and structured execution-readiness workflow, not as a brokerage venue or transaction guarantor.
No. MFI is not a broker, exchange, trading desk, or transaction venue. MFI facilitates structured qualification, intelligence review, and execution readiness.
The AI prompted platform captures role, product, basis, corridor, timing, volume, and authority status, then evaluates whether the opportunity is credible enough for further review.
No, not by default. MFI does not claim buyer authority, seller authority, mandate status, or allocation control unless a separate written agreement exists.
The platform records each participant's stated role and requires authority evidence before any opportunity progresses.
MFI's preferred revenue model is not based on transaction-contingent compensation. Revenue should flow through memberships, intelligence access, platform participation, enterprise services, fixed review fees, software tools, and private research.
Success fees, cargo commissions, spread participation, or closing-based compensation require separate legal review and formal structuring.
No. MFI does not market guaranteed supply, refinery access, buyers, sellers, allocations, or trade placement.
MFI markets corridor intelligence, structured signal review, execution discipline, and platform-based market participation.
MFI is designed not to operate that way. The agentic platform does not independently match parties, negotiate trade terms, bind counterparties, settle transactions, transmit funds, or represent itself as arranging trades.
MFI's role is intelligence, qualification, workflow structure, and execution-readiness review.
MFI revenue may include:
Revenue should flow from intelligence, platform infrastructure, structured review, workflow tools, and enterprise insight, not from undisclosed brokerage activity.
MERCO is Marshall Fuel Intelligence's agentic operating system for turning inbound market noise into structured, reviewable, execution-aware signal. It is not a trading engine and does not create counterparties, allocations, pricing, or authority.
MERCO runs each opportunity through a disciplined sequence of Mentor, Evaluator, Recommender, Coordinator, and Optimizer agents.
Normalizes the user message and captures the basic market signal.
Locks the path: buyer, seller, mandate, product, delivery basis, corridor, timing, and readiness requirements.
Scores completeness, identifies blockers, and flags risk.
Provides the next best steps and required information.
Enforces the process, creates the execution packet, tracks state, and prevents premature escalation.
Learns from friction points and improves the next Mentor review cycle.
MERCO's purpose is to help MFI determine whether an opportunity is noise, early-stage signal, strategically relevant, or ready for deeper structured review.
