Overview
A hybrid plan combines two or more compensation structures on the same member base. The most common pairing is binary + unilevel: the binary tree rewards team volume and momentum, while the unilevel sponsor tree rewards personal enrolment depth and retail. Other popular hybrids include matrix + unilevel, unilevel + auto-pool, and binary + generation.
Hybrids exist because no single plan fits every behaviour. Binary alone can over-reward passive spillover; unilevel alone can feel slow. Together, with separate caps and qualification rules, companies can tune payout to encourage exactly the behaviour they want.
DIRSL runs each engine independently on a shared genealogy (placement tree for binary, sponsor tree for unilevel), with separate caps, cycles and reports, then settles everything into one member wallet.
How it works
- 01
Choose your engines
Pick a primary plan (team volume) and a secondary plan (sponsorship), for example binary + unilevel.
- 02
Two trees, one member
Each member exists in the placement tree (binary legs) and the sponsor tree (unilevel levels).
- 03
Separate rules
Each engine has its own percentages, caps, cycles and qualification.
- 04
Shared ranks
Rank is calculated once, from combined criteria, and unlocks benefits in both engines.
- 05
One payout
All commissions settle into a single wallet with a line-by-line statement.
Worked example
Binary + unilevel monthly earnings for a Gold leader
- Binary pairing 10%, weaker leg 30,000 BV/month, cap $5,000
- Unilevel 5 levels: 8/4/3/2/1 % on 5,000 / 12,000 / 20,000 / 25,000 / 30,000 BV
- Matching bonus 15% on sponsored distributors' binary ($6,000 combined)
- Gold rank bonus $1,000
Bonuses & configuration
| Bonus | Trigger | Typical | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Binary pairing | Weaker leg volume | 8–12% | Capped per rank |
| Unilevel levels | Sponsor-tree volume | 1–8% × 5–8 levels | Compression on |
| Matching bonus | Sponsored binary earnings | 10–30% | Bridges both engines |
| Rank bonus | Combined criteria | $250–$25,000 | Shared rank |
| Pools | Top ranks | 1–3% | Company-wide |
Strengths and watch-outs
Strengths
- Rewards both team building and personal sponsorship
- Tunable: fix one engine's weakness with the other
- Competitive in recruiting experienced leaders
- Highest flexibility for established companies
Watch-outs
- More to explain and more to audit
- Payout ratio can creep up without guardrails
- Requires a mature engine; most licence scripts bolt it on badly

FAQ
Binary + unilevel, by a wide margin. It balances momentum with sponsorship.
Yes, placement and sponsor trees. DIRSL maintains both automatically.
Set per-engine caps and a company-wide payout ceiling. DIRSL's simulator shows the combined ratio.
Yes, for example an auto-pool or leadership pool layer, without migrating data.
You define rank criteria that can reference either tree; rank is computed once per run.
Yes. The member statement shows each engine's lines and the combined total.
