How it works

From scan to verified sale.
Every term explained.

weDISCOVR runs a complete commerce sequence inside live events. Here is exactly what happens, who is involved, and what every term means.

The four participants

Every Drop involves four parties.
Here is what each one does.

The Brand

The Brand

The company selling the product. The Brand configures the Drop in the AR Commerce Studio · setting up the free sample offer, listing paid SKUs with event-specific pricing, and defining the Explorer experience. The Brand pays for the Activation Kit and the Measurement Subscription. The Brand receives verified sales, a wEID cohort, and a wSI score after every Drop.

The Explorer

The Explorer

The person at the event. Explorers scan the QR, unlock the free sample, see the paid offer, and decide whether to buy. They can claim in person at the booth or have products shipped home. Their personal information · name, address, payment details · never reaches the Brand. They receive a wEID that represents them anonymously in the Brand's data. They earn DISC tokens by choosing to share additional signals through the app.

The Curator

The Curator

The vetted event producer. Curators produce the community events that Brands plug into through the Event Matcher. Curators are vetted by weDISCOVR and scored by the CPI sub-index on every Drop they run. They earn a revenue share from every brand-funded Drop at their events. Labels, touring acts, and event companies with established audiences can partner as Curators.

The Space

The Space

The physical venue. The Space is where the Drop happens. A cafe, gym, rooftop, festival ground, airport terminal, or any location with foot traffic. Spaces earn a revenue share on every Drop that runs on their site. They approve every brand and Curator before any activation goes live.

The sequence

Step by step.
Scan to verified sale.

01

Brand builds the Drop in the AR Commerce Studio.

The Brand configures their free sample offer, lists their paid SKUs with event pricing, uploads their creative assets, and sets inventory limits. The full Explorer experience is previewable before launch. Self-serve in 30 minutes or less.

02

Drop goes live at the event.

QR codes and AR-enabled signage go up at the venue. The commerce experience is live and accessible to any Explorer at the event. No app download required.

03

Explorer scans. Experience opens.

The Explorer points their phone camera at the QR. The weDISCOVR experience opens instantly in their browser. The Drop is time-locked and location-locked · it only works at this event, during these hours.

04

Explorer unlocks the free sample.

The reward appears. A free product configured by the Brand is available to claim. In-person pickup at the booth with a claim code, or shipped home via our fulfillment partner. If shipping: the Explorer enters their address. That address goes to weDISCOVR and the fulfillment partner. The Brand never sees it.

05

Explorer sees the paid offer and can buy with one click.

Immediately after claiming the free sample, the paid offer appears. The Explorer can complete a full checkout inside the experience. Payment processed. Product fulfilled by our logistics partner. The Brand receives a verified sale and a SKU attribution. The Explorer's personal information stays with weDISCOVR.

06

Explorer opts in. wEID is generated.

Completing the claim or purchase generates a wEID for that Explorer. The wEID is an anonymous, hashed identity token. The Brand receives the wEID as a verified, consented data point. The Explorer is never identifiable from the wEID alone.

07

Drop closes. wSI report lands in 24 hours.

When the Drop window closes, the wSI scoring engine processes every signal from the activation. The composite score and sub-index breakdown are delivered to the Brand within 24 hours. The wEID cohort is exported to the Brand's CRM.

08

Brand retargets. Explorer earns. Journey continues.

The Brand uploads the wEID cohort to Meta, Google, or their CRM for retargeting. Follow-up offers can be sent through the Explorer app. The Explorer earns DISC tokens by toggling on additional consent signals · location, dwell time, purchase behavior · inside the app. The Brand pays for access to those richer signal tiers through the Measurement Subscription. The permission economy continues.

Every term defined

Plain language.
No jargon.

Drop #
The commerce moment. When a Brand deploys a free sample offer and a paid product through weDISCOVR at a live event. The Drop is not the event. The Drop is the commercial layer running inside it. Time-locked and location-locked · it only works at a specific event, during specific hours.
Explorer #
The person at the event. Explorers scan the QR, unlock the free sample, see the paid offer, and opt in. Their personal information never reaches the Brand. They are represented by their wEID in all Brand-facing data.
wEID #
weDISCOVR Explorer Identity. An anonymous, hashed identity token created when an Explorer opts in during a Drop. The Brand receives the wEID for retargeting. They never receive the Explorer's name, email, home address, or any personally identifying information. The Explorer owns their wEID.
Curator #
The vetted event producer. Independent creators, fitness coaches, music promoters, touring acts, and event companies who produce the community events Brands access through the Event Matcher. Curators are scored by the CPI on every Drop they run.
Space #
The physical venue where a Drop runs. Cafes, gyms, rooftops, festival grounds, retail locations, airports, and any location with foot traffic. Spaces earn revenue share on every Drop. They approve every Brand and Curator before any activation goes live on their site.
AR Commerce Studio #
The Brand-facing tool where Drops are built. Brands configure free sample offers, list paid SKUs with event pricing, upload creative assets, set inventory limits, and preview the full Explorer experience before launch. Self-serve. No technical expertise required.
DISC Tokens #
The reward currency Explorers earn inside the weDISCOVR app by choosing to share additional consent signals · location, dwell time, purchase behavior, and others. Redeemable for vouchers, discount codes, and promo products from Brand partners. Explorers see their token balance and available rewards in the app.
wSI #
weDISCOVR Signal Intelligence Index. The scoring engine that measures the commercial performance of every Drop across eight sub-indices. One composite score. Delivered within 24 hours of Drop close. Benchmarked against Kantar CPL and Placer footfall.
Event Matcher #
The platform's matching engine. Connects Brands to Curator-produced events that match their target audience by category, city, and audience profile. Curators and Spaces with higher wSI scores rank higher in brand matches.
Activation Kit #
The Brand entry SKU. Everything needed to configure and run one Drop. Includes AR Commerce Studio access, checkout infrastructure, fulfillment coordination, consent capture, wEID cohort delivery, and a 24-hour wSI report.
Measurement Subscription #
The recurring Brand SKU. Ongoing access to the wSI dashboard, richer Explorer signal tiers, cross-Drop trend data, and retargeting pipeline tools. 1,500 EUR per brand per month.
Fulfillment Partner #
The logistics operator that handles all physical product movement for weDISCOVR Drops. Samples shipped to events. Paid products shipped to Explorer homes. The fulfillment partner receives the Explorer's shipping address. The Brand never does.
