Language

If we use a word on the desk, this is what it means.

Marketing sites die when “inventory”, “stock”, and “share” are used as synonyms. AgriStock would rather be pedantic.

Warehouse lot

A priced quantity of a specified agricultural product (or livestock unit) attached to a store. You buy units of the lot. You do not buy the warehouse company unless a separate listed name says so.

Unit

The increment: bag, tonne, bird, or whatever the listing defines. If the unit is missing, the lot is unfinished.

Remaining quantity

How much of the lot is still available to allocate. An operations number. If it cannot be believed, the listing should not be public.

Warehouse

The physical store: capacity, map location, manager. AgriStock records lots against it. AgriStock is not the roof.

Pending listing

A farmer or aggregator submission that is not on the public desk yet. Friction on purpose.

Listed agri

Curated company names related to planting, milling, feeding, processing. A watch. Not the entire NGX. Not a bag in a store.

Catalogue quote

A figure we can show when we do not have a live licensed print. Honest when labelled. Fraudulent when dressed as Bloomberg.

Live tape

The app shell refreshing lots and listed names on a timer. Atmosphere plus attention. Not a guarantee of exchange-grade data on every symbol.

Naira wallet

The balance you fund through Paystack and spend into lots (and related ledger movements). Not an NDIC deposit account speech.

Statement

A printable record of your activity for your files. Not a tax opinion. Not a bank statement from a DMB.

KYC

Identity checks. Format-level without a vendor; live lookup with a paid provider. Neither is a CBN licence.

OTP

One-time password, planned across email, WhatsApp, Telegram. Email on a verified domain is the default professional path.

Soft launch

Real product, eyes-open scale, not every future sentence already true.

Company site

agristock.org — this Hostinger static site. Story, thesis, FAQ. Not where you fund.

Desk / app

app.agristock.org — the Next.js product. Wallet, lots, tape, legal click-accept.

API

The Express backend. Web today, Flutter later. One company, one API.

Gold analogy

Lots closer to holding metal. Listed agri closer to holding a miner. Useful. Easy to overstretch. We keep it tight.

Stock (everyday English)

In Nigerian speech, stock can mean inventory. On AgriStock, inventory is lots. Listed names are the equity-like watch. We avoid using “stock” as both in the same sentence without a qualifier.

Alert

A notification about price or listing. Not an executed order.

Paystack

Payment provider for deposits and related rails. Card data stays with the processor.
