I have worked with farmers in Guatemala, El Salvador, Colombia, Rwanda and the United States and what you are describing is bad compost. So yes, there is some truth to your perspective but it is not based on well managed biologically complete compost.
Again, you have a viable and interesting product /process that can be very effective in restoring soil. For example, I’m restoring 20 acres of dead, clay, hardpan dirt that has been abused with every ag chemical you can think of and what I need is stable and affordable biomass to inoculate with compost tea and small percentage of compost. You could very well be the resource I am looking for. Biochar is expensive and other cheap biomass (leaves, wood chips etc) is not conducive to application in large volumes or unreliable. So stable affordable pasteurized biomass is perfect to pair with biologically complete compost for soil restoration. There is no need to polarize or diminish compost in your marketing.
