The Matrix plan limits how many members a distributor can have directly beneath them — the width — and how many levels deep commissions are paid — the depth. A 3×9 matrix means 3 positions at Level 1 and commissions paid down 9 levels.
Forced placement means when a distributor's Level 1 positions are full, new recruits overflow into the next available position in the matrix — filling the structure automatically. This creates spillover: active recruiters benefit their entire downline by filling lower positions.
When all positions in the matrix are filled — a completion bonus pays out. The matrix then cycles — either resetting for a new cycle or advancing the distributor to a higher board/matrix level. The structured nature of Matrix creates strong team interdependence and makes completion bonuses a clear, motivating goal.
Matrix Settings — Configured at Installation
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Matrix Dimensions | Width × Depth — e.g., 3×3, 3×9, 4×7. Width is the number of direct positions beneath each node. Depth is the number of levels for which commissions are paid and positions exist. |
| Commission % Per Level | Percentage of sales volume paid at each level within the matrix depth. Can be configured with different rates per level. |
| Placement Rule | How new members are placed when a position is filled — breadth-first, depth-first, or sponsor-directed. Governs spillover behaviour. |
| Completion Bonus | Bonus paid when all positions in the distributor's matrix are filled. Can be a fixed amount or percentage of matrix volume. The primary motivation for matrix completion. |
| Cycle Behaviour | What happens when the matrix fills — reset to a new empty matrix, advance to the next matrix level, or a custom cycle behaviour configured at installation. |
| Referral Bonus | Direct bonus on personally recruiting a new active member. Separate from matrix commissions — pays immediately on first purchase or activation. |
