	~~== Decentralized Data ==~~

	WikiDeal is designed from the outset to minimise the platform's access to user data. Where mainstream platforms treat user data as a primary asset — collecting, analysing, and monetising it — WikiDeal treats data as belonging to users and held only in trust, for minimum periods, in minimum quantities.

	~~=== Local-First Architecture ===~~

	WikiDeal's technical architecture is '''local-first''': wherever possible, data is stored on users' own devices and only the minimum necessary information is transmitted to shared Infrastructure. A babysitting agreement, once signed by both parties, lives on the devices of the family and the babysitter. The platform Infrastructure holds a cryptographic proof that the agreement was signed, but not the content of the agreement itself unless both parties consent to shared storage.

	This architecture is technically challenging — it requires careful design of conflict resolution, backup, and recovery mechanisms — but it fundamentally changes the data power relationship. The platform cannot sell data it does not have. Advertisers cannot be served on data the platform cannot access. And when WikiDeal eventually becomes the platform it aspires to be — used by millions of babysitters, tutors, and freelancers worldwide — it will not have created a surveillance corpus of intimate human behaviour.

	~~=== Identity and Privacy ===~~

	WikiDeal funders' individual contribution data is kept strictly confidential. Aggregate figures (total number of funders, total CHF raised, distribution of Community vs [[Gov/en/Portal:Economy/Cash-Rewards\|Cash Rewards]] (no guarantee*) allocations) are published transparently. Individual allocations are never disclosed without explicit consent. When a funder chooses to increase their Community allocation, an aggregate public notification is issued ("a funder increased community allocation") without identifying the individual.

	For marketplace Transactions, WikiDeal uses a '''selective disclosure''' model: parties to a Transaction share only the data necessary to complete that Transaction, reputation scores are computed locally and verified by the platform without revealing the underlying ratings, and dispute resolution can proceed without exposing private communications to the platform operators unless legally required.

	~~=== Decentralised Identity ===~~

	WikiDeal is evaluating decentralised identity systems (DIDs, verifiable credentials) as a mechanism for enabling trust between strangers without requiring a central identity database. A babysitter's qualifications, background check results, and reputation history could be held by the babysitter themselves, presented to families on demand, and verified by the platform without the platform storing the underlying data. This research is ongoing through the WikiDeal Living Labs programme.

+On most platforms today, '''if it's free, you are the product''': your data is collected, analysed, and resold. WikiDeal is built on the opposite principle. There is no resale, no surveillance business model. You pay a small subscription ([[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Innovations:Subscription|CHF 1/month]]) — and in exchange '''you are not the merchandise'''. That is the core difference.
-Data is published in open, linked formats so it can be queried, connected, and verified by other systems and the wider web. This supports transparency and interoperability across portals and partners. The specific schemas and integration points are documented progressively as the platform evolves.

	~~{{NotApproved}}~~

	~~🔒 '''Admin view:''' You are viewing an administrative or core structural page.~~

	~~== The 4 Concepts ==~~

	📌 These four mechanisms together constitute the economic engine of WikiDeal Prototype 1. They are interconnected: changes to one affect the others. All are subject to community review via the [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Open-Call:Main\|Open Call]] process.

	~~=== 1. Participative Contracts (wiki-based, community-validated) ===~~

	At the core of WikiDeal are '''Participative Contracts'''. These are open, transparent agreements, co-created and validated by the community, much like Wikipedia articles. They replace traditional opaque contracts, ensuring fairness and accountability in every Transaction on the platform. Community validation mechanisms, including voting and peer review, ensure that contracts evolve to meet the needs of all participants, fostering trust and shared ownership.

	~~=== 2. Credits Economy ([[Gov/en/Portal:Economy/Cash-Rewards\|Cash Rewards]] (no guarantee*) + [[Gov/en/Portal:Economy/Miles-Credits\|Miles Credits]] in Rings) ===~~

	~~The WikiDeal ecosystem is powered by the '''Credits Economy''', a multi-faceted digital currency designed for flexibility and community benefit. It comprises three main types of WIL:~~

	* '''Cash Rewards (no guarantee*)''' 💰: Convertible to CHF. Can be cashed out to bank account. Tax applies at cash-out.
	* ''Gift (indirect)'': The difference between the bonding curve total and (Cash + Miles). Not a user choice — it flows automatically. See [[Gov/en/Portal:Economy/Cash-Rewards\|Rewards Explained]] for details.
	* '''Miles Credits''' 🔗: Usable within Rings (agreements between ≥2 [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Innovations:User Groups\|User Groups]]). Complementary currency with usage coefficients from 1 (restricted) to 10 (widely accepted).
	* '''Ring''': An agreement between at least 2 User Groups that enables Miles Credits interoperability.

	~~This tiered system ensures liquidity, incentivizes community contributions, and supports diverse economic interactions, all while promoting transparent and fair value exchange.~~

	~~=== 3. Exit to Community (progressive transfer of governance) ===~~

	WikiDeal is built on the principle of '''Exit to Community''', a progressive model for transferring governance and ownership from the founding Ynternet.org Foundation to the collective of its User Groups. This ensures that as the platform grows, its direction and control increasingly reside with those who use and contribute to it. Mechanisms for this transfer include proportional voting rights tied to participation, community-elected governance bodies, and phased decentralization of decision-making power, guaranteeing WikiDeal remains a truly community-driven initiative.

	~~=== 4. [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Innovations:Bonding Curve\|Bonding Curve]] & Boost (dual algorithm for funding) ===~~

	The financial stability and growth of WikiDeal are secured by a '''Bonding Curve & Boost''' dual algorithm. The '''Bonding Curve''' is a transparent, mathematically fixed mechanism that governs the issuance of Credits and their value, rewarding early adopters and ensuring predictable funding. The '''Boost''' mechanism is a dynamic adjustment layer that responds to the platform’s financial health, automatically recalibrating the distribution of newly generated Credits between community and individual rewards. This dual approach provides both long-term predictability and adaptive responsiveness, optimizing resource allocation while aligning incentives for sustainable growth and community benefit.

WikiDeal is a [[Gov/en/Portal:Onboarding/Glossary:Founding Question\|proof of concept]] and a citizen science project. But there are substantive reasons to believe the model can achieve broad adhesion. They are laid out here.

			----

			== The Four Foundational Concepts ==

			Before the arguments below, here are the '''four foundational concepts''' that together constitute the economic engine of WikiDeal Prototype 1. They are interconnected: changes to one affect the others. All are subject to community review via the [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Open-Call:Main\|Open Call]] process.

			=== Concept 1 — Participative Contracts (wiki-based, community-validated) ===

			At the core of WikiDeal are '''Participative Contracts''': open, transparent agreements, co-created and validated by the community, much like Wikipedia articles. They replace traditional opaque contracts, ensuring fairness and accountability in every Transaction. Community validation — voting and peer review — ensures contracts evolve to meet the needs of all participants, fostering trust and shared ownership.

			=== Concept 2 — Credits Economy ([[Gov/en/Portal:Economy/Cash-Rewards\|Cash Rewards]] (no guarantee*) + [[Gov/en/Portal:Economy/Miles-Credits\|Miles Credits]] in Rings) ===

			The WikiDeal ecosystem is powered by the '''Credits Economy''', a multi-faceted digital currency designed for flexibility and community benefit. It comprises:

			* '''Cash Rewards (no guarantee*)''' 💰 — convertible to CHF, can be cashed out to a bank account; tax applies at cash-out.
			* ''Gift (indirect)'' — the difference between the bonding curve total and (Cash + Miles); not a user choice, it flows automatically. See [[Gov/en/Portal:Economy/Cash-Rewards\|Rewards Explained]].
			* '''Miles Credits''' 🔗 — usable within Rings (agreements between ≥2 [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Innovations:User Groups\|User Groups]]); complementary currency with usage coefficients from 1 (restricted) to 10 (widely accepted).
			* '''Ring''' — an agreement between at least 2 User Groups that enables Miles Credits interoperability.

			This tiered system ensures liquidity, incentivizes community contributions, and supports diverse economic interactions, while promoting transparent and fair value exchange.

			=== Concept 3 — Exit to Community (progressive transfer of governance) ===

			WikiDeal is built on '''[[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Innovations:Exit To Community\|Exit to Community]]''', a progressive model for transferring governance and ownership from the founding Ynternet.org Foundation to the collective of its User Groups. As the platform grows, its direction and control increasingly reside with those who use and contribute to it — through proportional voting rights tied to participation, community-elected governance bodies, and phased decentralization of decision-making power.

			=== Concept 4 — [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Innovations:Bonding Curve\|Bonding Curve]] & Funding Stabilizer (dual algorithm for funding) ===

			Financial stability and growth are secured by a '''Bonding Curve & Funding Stabilizer''' dual algorithm. The '''Bonding Curve''' is a transparent, mathematically fixed mechanism governing the issuance of Credits and their value, rewarding early adopters and ensuring predictable funding. The '''[[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Innovations:Funding Stabilizer\|Funding Stabilizer]]''' is a dynamic adjustment layer that responds to the platform's financial health, automatically recalibrating the distribution of newly generated Credits between community and individual rewards. Together they provide long-term predictability and adaptive responsiveness, aligning incentives for sustainable growth and community benefit.

== Request for Feedback (RFF) ==
''How to submit a proposal to any Open Call, and draw attention to get feedback — open to all''

Every [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Open-Call:Main|Open Call]] uses the same simple, open mechanism. You do '''not''' need to email anyone. The process is:

=== 1. Create a login ===
Create a free account on WikiDeal and log in. That is all that is required to take part.

=== 2. Post your proposal in the Discussion tab ===
Go to the '''Discussion''' (Talk) tab of the Open Call page that interests you, and post your proposal there. Say clearly: ''"I propose the following…"'' — and add your ideas and any links (for example a [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Open-Call:Content Architecture|link to an HTML snapshot of an architecture proposal]]).

=== 3. Raise a Request for Feedback (RFF) ===
Once your proposal is posted, you can '''raise a Request for Feedback''' to draw attention to it and obtain comments from the community. This is the mechanism that lets any contributor say: ''"here is my proposal — please look at it and give me feedback."''

A Request for Feedback should include:
* a short title for the proposal;
* the Open Call it relates to;
* a one-line summary of what you propose;
* the link to where you posted it (the Discussion tab, or an external HTML snapshot);
* what kind of feedback you are looking for.

=== Open to all ===

This mechanism is '''open to everyone'''. Anyone with a login can submit a proposal and raise a Request for Feedback, on '''any''' Open Call page. It is the standard, transparent way to bring ideas forward, attract attention, and get community feedback.

New page

{{KidsIntro|WikiDeal is like a giant library. This is an early invitation to help decide how to organise it: how the web addresses work, how each page is laid out, how markets and contracts are arranged, and whether there is one big WikiDeal or several. The way it is organised today is only temporary — better ideas are welcome.}}

== Open Call: Architecture, Taxonomy & Content Structure ==
''Open Call (preview, early) — uses the [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Open-Call:Main|Open Call]] method · part of the family of [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Open-Call:Reverse Abuse|Open Calls for creative ideas and programmes]]''

=== Why this call ===

WikiDeal currently has a working '''URL architecture''' and a working '''content architecture''' — '''but they are temporary'''. They were put in place to migrate content and get the wiki running; they are '''not''' the final design. This Open Call invites '''new proposals''' for the global structure of WikiDeal.

Because these foundations affect everything else, this is one of the things that should be '''refined first'''. It is therefore a '''small but important''' early call: the bases below are already proposed, and the call is about '''affining and replacing''' them with a better, durable architecture.

This is, for now, a '''theoretical / prospective''' call — exploration within the Prototype 1 R&D programme. '''No deadline''' is set yet, and there is no guarantee a given proposal will be adopted. The '''Discussion''' tab is already open for suggestions on orientation, framing, limits, and related calls.

=== What this call covers ===

==== 1. URL structure ====
The naming and path scheme for all pages: namespaces (Gov, Markets, etc.), language segments (e.g. /en/), portal and sub-page patterns, contract URLs. Existing working proposals to build on:
* [https://aidev.wikideal.net/mockups/latest/url-structure-proposal-2_en.html URL Structure Proposal v2 (EN)]
* [https://aidev.wikideal.net/mockups/latest/gov-rd-structure.html Gov structure] · [https://aidev.wikideal.net/mockups/latest/market-portal-structure.html Markets / Portal structure] · [https://aidev.wikideal.net/mockups/latest/portal-model.html Portal model] · [https://aidev.wikideal.net/mockups/latest/en-pages-decision.html /en decision]

==== 2. Article (content) structure ====
What should appear '''inside''' the articles, in a consistent way:
* the '''statistical / data elements''' that must appear on a page;
* standard '''templates and layout''' for each content type;
* for '''each contract''', everything '''around''' it: amendments, addenda (avenants), the contract URLs, the '''reference rules''' (legal references), validation status, and how these relate to each other.

==== 3. Markets structure ====
How market segments and their portals are organised, and the standard set of content types per market (base contract, models, amendments, addenda, validated contracts, legal references, compensation, etc.).

==== 4. Global architecture questions ====
The deeper design questions to settle:
* Is there '''one''' WikiDeal instance, or '''several'''?
* Is there '''one instance per language''', or a single multilingual instance?
* How are '''User Groups''' managed within the chosen architecture?
* How do taxonomy, categories and navigation tie all of the above together?

=== What matters most: principle, quality & success criteria ===

As with the other Open Calls, the calendar matters less than the '''principle''' and the criteria:
* '''Principle:''' a single, coherent, durable architecture that serves users and contributors, is language-fair, and scales as markets and User Groups grow.
* '''Quality criteria:''' consistency across URLs / articles / markets / contracts; clarity and predictability of naming; ease of navigation and search; maintainability; compatibility with MediaWiki and with [[Gov/en/Portal:Data/Decentralized-Data|decentralized data]]; clean handling of multilingual content.
* '''Success criteria:''' a proposal that can replace the current temporary structure without content loss; that is reusable as markets and User Groups multiply; and that the community can understand and maintain.

=== Timing & cycles (still under reflection) ===

There is '''no deadline''' at this stage. Whether evaluation later follows a '''seasonal cycle''' (in the spirit of the general [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Open-Call:Main|Open Call]] method) is '''just one option under reflection''', not the key to success. For now this is an idea to be explored within Prototype 1.

			=== A framework of creative ideas of all types ===

			This page is part of a broader framework of '''Open Calls for creative ideas of all types''' — open calls to build '''programmes''' that connect and make several kinds of contracts interact: '''production''' contracts, '''transformation''' contracts, '''transport''' contracts, and many others. These contracts are used as the '''building blocks''' to assemble programmes.

			In other words, this is an '''Open Call for programmes'''. Reverse Abuse is offered here as one '''disruptive example — which is not a joke''': it is meant to show that, in this project, '''imagination can be in power''', as long as everything stays within a '''lawful''' framework. There are many options and a wide field of possibilities through this approach. Other Open Calls of the same family include, for instance, Open Calls '''for markets''' (assembling the contracts that let a whole market segment exist).

	This Open Call invites the community — and the world — to ~~propose~~ '''~~highly~~ advanced, fully legal financial-optimization structures''', of the kind normally reserved for the very wealthy and large multinationals, but '''re-oriented so that ~~the~~ value flows to users, small producers and the commons''' ~~rather than to a handful of shareholders~~.		This Open Call invites the community — and eventually the world — to imagine '''advanced, fully legal financial-optimization structures''', of the kind normally reserved for the very wealthy and large multinationals, but '''re-oriented so that value flows to users, small producers and the commons'''.

	The principle follows the [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Innovations:Reverse Abuse\|Reverse Abuse]] logic: '''same legal tools, opposite direction'''. Everything ~~proposed~~ must be '''lawful''' — ~~this is~~ legal optimization, '''not''' tax fraud and '''not''' money laundering — and must serve a '''non-profit finality''' ~~(benefit~~ to ~~producers~~ and ~~community)~~.		It is, above all, about using '''packages of contracts''' to show the '''interrelation between the different stages of a global, ecosystemic production''' within a market segment — '''tea''', for example, as an illustrative segment that could be deployed in a pilot experiment. But it could be '''anything else''': the scope is deliberately broad. Everything here is '''prospective and theoretical''', with '''no guarantee of implementation'''.

			The principle follows the [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Innovations:Reverse Abuse\|Reverse Abuse]] logic: '''same legal tools, opposite direction'''. Everything imagined must be '''lawful''' — legal optimization, '''not''' tax fraud and '''not''' money laundering — and must serve a '''non-profit finality'''.

			=== A transition measure, not a finality ===

			This is explicitly a '''transition measure''', with a single purpose: to help '''evolve the culture of financial-flow management''' and to '''reduce the low accountability of large companies'''. It is a '''phase of transition''', '''not''' an end goal. Once the broader culture shifts, the mechanism has done its job.

=== What this call invites ===

This Open Call invites the community — and the world — to propose '''highly advanced, fully legal financial-optimization structures''', of the kind normally reserved for the very wealthy and large multinationals, but '''re-oriented so that the value flows to users, small producers and the commons''' rather than to a handful of shareholders.

The principle follows the [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Innovations:Reverse Abuse|Reverse Abuse]] logic: '''same legal tools, opposite direction'''. Everything proposed must be '''lawful''' — this is legal optimization, '''not''' tax fraud and '''not''' money laundering — and must serve a '''non-profit finality''' (benefit to producers and community).

=== Illustrative examples (starting points, not limits) ===

These examples are given to spark ideas. The call is '''open to everything''' lawful.

* '''The "Buy, Borrow, Die" / securities-backed loan method.''' Wealthy individuals (a method publicly associated with figures such as Elon Musk) avoid a taxable sale by '''borrowing against their own appreciating shares or stock options''' instead of selling them: the loan is not taxable income, no capital-gains event is triggered, and they keep ownership and voting rights. '''Reverse Abuse variant:''' a company that goes through an '''IPO whose shares are owned by the users''', with a clear, transparent appreciation in value on the market — but '''user-owned''' — so that the same liquidity-without-sale mechanics benefit the community rather than a single founder.

* '''Securities-backed lending for collective estate / treasury planning.''' The same lending structures used for private inheritance-tax planning, applied instead to '''user-owned cooperative treasuries''', to unlock liquidity for producers without dismantling community ownership.

* '''User-owned holding & supply-chain repatriation structures.''' Entities with the '''same legal statutes''' as multinationals (holdings, cross-border structures) but with non-profit finality, used to repatriate margins back to producers via compensation funds and syndicates — as described in the parent [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Innovations:Reverse Abuse|Reverse Abuse]] programme.

''Additional lawful examples are welcome and encouraged — this list is a starting point, not a boundary.''

=== Why a public Open Call ===

Beyond its economic function, this call has an explicit '''strategic-communication purpose''' within Prototype 1: to demonstrate, in a way that is '''communicable in mainstream economic media''', that the financial techniques associated with extreme wealth concentration can be turned into a '''credible, lawful alternative''' that serves the many. It shows an alternative that economic journalists and the wider public can understand and discuss.

=== How to propose ===

Proposals follow the standard [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Open-Call:Main|Open Call]] method and are evaluated in the seasonal cycles (March 21 · June 21 · September 21 · December 21). A valid proposal should specify: the exact legal structure proposed; the lawful basis and jurisdictions; how value is repatriated to users / producers; the non-profit finality and governance; and full AI-transparency disclosure if AI tools were used.

= Why WikiDeal Will Work: Deployment Strategy & Shared Vision =
''From WikiDeal, the Wikipedia of e-commerce — [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Research:Main|R&D Research Portal]]''

This page presents the reasons we believe there is strong growth potential for WikiDeal. It complements the [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Research:Main|founding research hypothesis]] — "[[Gov/en/Portal:Onboarding/Glossary:Founding Question|Can users own, run and sustain a global marketplace?]]" — with a concrete '''shared vision''' and '''deployment strategy''' rolled out progressively, through organic market expansion.

These are not promises. WikiDeal is a [[Gov/en/Portal:Onboarding/Glossary:Founding Question|proof of concept]] and a citizen science project. But there are substantive reasons to believe the model can achieve broad adhesion. They are laid out here.

----

== 1. Lower Commissions: Decent Income Without Extreme Profit ==

WikiDeal's commission hypothesis ranges from '''5–15%''' (vs. 10–50% for most incumbent platforms). See [[Gov/en/Portal:Economy/Revenue-Structure|Revenue Structure]] for the complete model.

This is '''not zero''' — those who deploy and operate services on WikiDeal must earn a '''dignified, decent income'''. The goal is not to impoverish service providers. The goal is to eliminate '''extreme profit extraction''' — the binary logic of the GAFAM and net-economy IPO culture, which operates on a winner-takes-all dynamic: a platform must either buy out or destroy competitors, or risk being destroyed itself.

WikiDeal escapes this logic by design. Because the platform is a commons — governed by the [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Innovations:Exit To Community|Exit to Community]] principle and structured around [[Gov/en/Portal:Ecosystem/Coopetition|co-opetition]] — it does not need to conquer. It can grow '''without being forced to buy or destroy competitors'''. Instead, the strategy is to '''unite the strength of the small''' (''unir la force des petits''): all the small players — independent service providers, cooperatives, citizen initiatives — can ally on a single commons platform and, together, outcompete the large incumbents, not through aggression, but through structural fairness.

Significant contributors earn decent, sustainable revenue. [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Innovations:User Groups|User Groups]] set their own specific-service commissions within transparent bounds. The surplus, after audited costs are covered, is returned to the community. There is no [[Gov/en/Portal:Economy/Revenue-Structure|profit margin]] by design.

----

== 2. More Flexible, More Options ==

WikiDeal is designed to be '''more flexible''' than existing marketplace platforms. Key dimensions:

* '''Many contract models''' — employment, volunteering, bike loan, childcare, tutoring, co-housing, and many more — all freely accessible to browse, with lawyer-endorsed versions unlocked via subscription.
* '''[[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Innovations:User Groups|User Groups]]''' — autonomous local or thematic communities with their own governance, their own commission rates, and their own contract adaptations.
* '''[[Gov/en/Portal:Economy/Miles-Credits|Miles Credits]]''' — a complementary currency enabling exchange of housing, transport, food, and services within [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Innovations:Rings Of Trust|Rings of Trust]], giving users flexibility beyond cash transactions.
* '''[[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Open-Call:Main|Open Calls]]''' — seasonal community invitations to propose improvements, new contract models, or entirely new marketplace types.

Users are not locked into a single offer. They can choose the model that fits their community, their budget, and their values.

----

== 3. Citizen Initiatives: Organic Market Deployment ==

One of WikiDeal's core deployment hypotheses is that '''markets need not be created from above''' — they can emerge organically from citizen initiative. Small entrepreneurs, associations, and cooperatives launching their own User Groups (babysitting networks, local transport cooperatives, tool libraries, artist collectives, tutoring circles) bring both supply and demand simultaneously when they migrate to WikiDeal.

This is what [[Gov/en/Portal:Ecosystem/Community-Migrations|Community Migrations]] are designed for. Existing communities — those that already have internal transaction flows and trust relationships — migrate their practices onto WikiDeal's framework. Rather than a cold-start marketing campaign, this is organic market deployment: stimulating '''merit''' and '''personal initiative''', rewarding those who invest energy in building their community's marketplace.

The [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Innovations:Coopetition|co-opetitive]] structure means that User Groups have more incentive to improve their own quality than to fight over external users. The competition is internal, productive, and governed — producing better service without destructive rivalry.

----

== 4. Users Who Need Lower Prices ==

For large portions of the population, a '''10–20% saving''' on everyday services is economically meaningful — not a luxury, a necessity. Transport, housing, childcare, household services: when the incumbent platform extracts 25–35% and WikiDeal charges 5–10%, the difference stays in the pocket of the service provider '''and''' reflects in the price offered to the client.

This creates a gravitational pull at both ends of the transaction:

* '''Service providers''' earn more per transaction — or can offer lower prices and still earn the same.
* '''Clients''' can access services that were previously unaffordable, or save meaningfully on regular expenditures.

Even 10% off transport or housing, at scale, matters a great deal to people of modest means. WikiDeal does not serve only affluent, tech-savvy early adopters — it is designed to be accessible and useful to anyone who buys or sells services.

----

== 5. Trust: Built by Design, Not by Marketing ==

Trust is WikiDeal's most fundamental structural asset. Several mechanisms work together:

=== Corrective and Compensatory Measures ===
The platform includes built-in corrective measures (dispute resolution via [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Innovations:Arbitration Chambers|Arbitration Chambers]]) and compensatory options (redress mechanisms within contracts) that give users confidence that problems can be resolved fairly, without resorting to external legal systems.

=== Fluid, Fair Contracts ===
Contracts on WikiDeal are [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Innovations:Collaborative Contract Editing|wiki-edited, versioned, and community-validated]] — like Wikipedia articles, but for legal agreements. They evolve as the community's understanding improves. Volunteer lawyers endorse them and take named, accountable responsibility ([[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Innovations:Peer Endorsement|Peer Endorsement]]). This combination of transparency, fluidity, and accountability is rare in the marketplace economy.

=== 1 User = 1 Vote ===
Governance is participatory: '''1 user = 1 vote'''. Users who contribute to the platform are not just consumers — they are stakeholders with genuine decision-making power. This structure gives users reason to trust that the platform will not be redirected against their interests by a small shareholder group.

=== Track Records and Decentralized Data ===
WikiDeal integrates the ability to consult — or to require, in more complex transactions — the '''track record''' of the other party: past transactions, satisfaction ratings, community activity records. Crucially, this data is shared '''only if the parties agree''': decentralized, consent-based data sharing. Both parties can flexibly require or waive the other's track record history, depending on the stakes of the transaction. This mechanism, operating within [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Innovations:Rings Of Trust|Rings of Trust]], allows trust to be built gradually and contextually — without requiring a centralised surveillance architecture.

=== Interests and Community Signals ===
Trust also emerges from shared context: seeing the other party's declared interests, the User Groups they belong to, their volunteering history, or their use of [[Gov/en/Portal:Economy/Miles-Credits|Miles Credits]] for community exchange. These signals provide a richer, more human picture than a simple star rating.

----

== 6. Subscription Mandatory Only on Transactions: Browse Freely ==

A common concern about platform subscriptions is that they create a barrier to entry. WikiDeal addresses this directly:

* '''Free access:''' Anyone can browse WikiDeal — read contract models, explore User Groups, consult governance documentation — without any subscription.
* '''Subscription is triggered only at transaction time:''' The [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Innovations:Subscription|CHF 1/month subscription]] (CHF 10/year) becomes due only when a user signs a contract. If a user browses for months and never transacts, they never pay.
* '''Retroactive billing:''' Overdue subscription months are settled at the time of the next contract signing — no surprise charges between transactions.

What does the subscription unlock? '''Added value''':

* '''Smartphone apps''' for mobile access to the full platform.
* '''Lawyer-endorsed contracts''' — the [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Innovations:Peer Endorsement|Peer Endorsement]] layer that makes contracts legally credible and fair.
* Access to the full library of '''ready-to-use contract models''': employment agreements, volunteering contracts, bike-loan agreements, childcare arrangements, and many more.
* Full access to dispute resolution mechanisms.

The subscription is not a paywall — it is a membership in a community-governed commons. The value returned exceeds the cost, especially for regular users.

----

== 7. Everything United in One Platform ==

One of the [[Gov/en/Portal:Onboarding/Glossary:Founding Question|founding question]]'s key insights is captured in the word "'''A'''" — there should be a single platform, not many fragmented ones. The argument: '''all the small players ally on a single shared platform''' and, together, outcompete the large incumbents — not through acquisition or aggression, but through structural fairness and network effects.

This unity produces practical advantages:

* '''[[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Innovations:Rings Of Trust|Rings of Trust]]''' connect User Groups across domains — a babysitter's Miles Credits become usable for tutoring, transport, or festival services as the Rings expand.
* '''Track records follow users across contexts''' — not siloed by domain, but portable across the platform with user consent.
* '''Contract models are shared and improved collectively''' — a legal innovation adopted in one User Group can propagate across the whole ecosystem.
* '''Governance decisions affect the whole platform''' — improvements in arbitration, pricing, or fraud prevention benefit everyone simultaneously.

The alternative — many small competing platforms — produces fragmentation, duplicated costs, and race-to-the-bottom dynamics. WikiDeal's hypothesis is that a single, well-governed commons is more powerful than many small private silos.

----

== 8. A Deployment Strategy That Grows Without Conquest ==

The deployment strategy is progressive and non-aggressive:

# '''Living Labs first:''' [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Innovations:User Groups|User Groups]] launch as Living Labs — small-scale, real-world experiments in specific domains (babysitting, tutoring, tool libraries, etc.).
# '''Community Migrations:''' Existing cooperatives and associations migrate to WikiDeal, bringing their users and transaction flows.
# '''Rings of Trust expand:''' As more User Groups join, Miles Credits become more widely usable, increasing the network's value.
# '''Open Calls drive innovation:''' The community proposes, debates, and adopts improvements through seasonal [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Open-Call:Main|Open Calls]].
# '''Early Supporters fund the foundation:''' The [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Innovations:Bonding Curve|Bonding Curve]] and [[Gov/en/Portal:Economy/Why-Fund-WikiDeal|funding model]] ensure that those who believe in the project early receive proportionally greater rewards as it grows.
# '''Volunteer lawyers expand legal coverage:''' As the community grows, more endorsed contract models become available in more jurisdictions, reducing friction for international transactions.

At no stage does WikiDeal need to acquire a competitor, launch an aggressive advertising campaign, or exploit its user base to grow. The growth is structural: each new User Group, Ring of Trust, and endorsed contract adds value to the whole ecosystem.

Create: Why WikiDeal Will Work — Deployment Strategy & Shared Vision (R&D Research)

New page

{{KidsIntro|This page explains why we believe WikiDeal can grow and work for many people around the world. It talks about fair prices, trust, and how everyone can join together to make one big shared marketplace.}}

{{NotApproved}}

= Why WikiDeal Will Work: Deployment Strategy & Shared Vision =
''From WikiDeal, the Wikipedia of e-commerce — [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Research:Main|R&D Research Portal]]''

This page presents the reasons we believe there is strong growth potential for WikiDeal. It complements the [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Research:Main|founding research hypothesis]] — "[[Gov/en/Portal:Onboarding/Glossary:Founding Question|Can users own, run and sustain a global marketplace?]]" — with a concrete '''shared vision''' and '''deployment strategy''' rolled out progressively, through organic market expansion.

These are not promises. WikiDeal is a [[Gov/en/Portal:Onboarding/Glossary:Founding Question|proof of concept]] and a citizen science project. But there are substantive reasons to believe the model can achieve broad adhesion. They are laid out here.

----

== 1. Lower Commissions: Decent Income Without Extreme Profit ==

WikiDeal's commission hypothesis ranges from '''5–15%''' (vs. 10–50% for most incumbent platforms). See [[Gov/en/Portal:Economy/Revenue-Structure|Revenue Structure]] for the complete model.

This is '''not zero''' — those who deploy and operate services on WikiDeal must earn a '''dignified, decent income'''. The goal is not to impoverish service providers. The goal is to eliminate '''extreme profit extraction''' — the binary logic of the GAFAM and net-economy IPO culture, which operates on a winner-takes-all dynamic: a platform must either buy out or destroy competitors, or risk being destroyed itself.

WikiDeal escapes this logic by design. Because the platform is a commons — governed by the [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Innovations:Exit To Community|Exit to Community]] principle and structured around [[Gov/en/Portal:Ecosystem/Coopetition|co-opetition]] — it does not need to conquer. It can grow '''without being forced to buy or destroy competitors'''. Instead, the strategy is to '''unite the strength of the small''' (''unir la force des petits''): all the small players — independent service providers, cooperatives, citizen initiatives — can ally on a single commons platform and, together, outcompete the large incumbents, not through aggression, but through structural fairness.

Significant contributors earn decent, sustainable revenue. [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Innovations:User Groups|User Groups]] set their own specific-service commissions within transparent bounds. The surplus, after audited costs are covered, is returned to the community. There is no [[Gov/en/Portal:Economy/Revenue-Structure|profit margin]] by design.

----

== 2. More Flexible, More Options ==

WikiDeal is designed to be '''more flexible''' than existing marketplace platforms. Key dimensions:

* '''Many contract models''' — employment, volunteering, bike loan, childcare, tutoring, co-housing, and many more — all freely accessible to browse, with lawyer-endorsed versions unlocked via subscription.
* '''[[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Innovations:User Groups|User Groups]]''' — autonomous local or thematic communities with their own governance, their own commission rates, and their own contract adaptations.
* '''[[Gov/en/Portal:Economy/Miles-Credits|Miles Credits]]''' — a complementary currency enabling exchange of housing, transport, food, and services within [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Innovations:Rings Of Trust|Rings of Trust]], giving users flexibility beyond cash transactions.
* '''[[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Open-Call:Main|Open Calls]]''' — seasonal community invitations to propose improvements, new contract models, or entirely new marketplace types.

Users are not locked into a single offer. They can choose the model that fits their community, their budget, and their values.

----

== 3. Citizen Initiatives: Organic Market Deployment ==

One of WikiDeal's core deployment hypotheses is that '''markets need not be created from above''' — they can emerge organically from citizen initiative. Small entrepreneurs, associations, and cooperatives launching their own User Groups (babysitting networks, local transport cooperatives, tool libraries, artist collectives, tutoring circles) bring both supply and demand simultaneously when they migrate to WikiDeal.

This is what [[Gov/en/Portal:Ecosystem/Community-Migrations|Community Migrations]] are designed for. Existing communities — those that already have internal transaction flows and trust relationships — migrate their practices onto WikiDeal's framework. Rather than a cold-start marketing campaign, this is organic market deployment: stimulating '''merit''' and '''personal initiative''', rewarding those who invest energy in building their community's marketplace.

The [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Innovations:Coopetition|co-opetitive]] structure means that User Groups have more incentive to improve their own quality than to fight over external users. The competition is internal, productive, and governed — producing better service without destructive rivalry.

----

== 4. Users Who Need Lower Prices ==

For large portions of the population, a '''10–20% saving''' on everyday services is economically meaningful — not a luxury, a necessity. Transport, housing, childcare, household services: when the incumbent platform extracts 25–35% and WikiDeal charges 5–10%, the difference stays in the pocket of the service provider '''and''' reflects in the price offered to the client.

This creates a gravitational pull at both ends of the transaction:

* '''Service providers''' earn more per transaction — or can offer lower prices and still earn the same.
* '''Clients''' can access services that were previously unaffordable, or save meaningfully on regular expenditures.

Even 10% off transport or housing, at scale, matters a great deal to people of modest means. WikiDeal does not serve only affluent, tech-savvy early adopters — it is designed to be accessible and useful to anyone who buys or sells services.

----

== 5. Trust: Built by Design, Not by Marketing ==

Trust is WikiDeal's most fundamental structural asset. Several mechanisms work together:

=== Corrective and Compensatory Measures ===
The platform includes built-in corrective measures (dispute resolution via [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Innovations:Arbitration Chambers|Arbitration Chambers]]) and compensatory options (redress mechanisms within contracts) that give users confidence that problems can be resolved fairly, without resorting to external legal systems.

=== Fluid, Fair Contracts ===
Contracts on WikiDeal are [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Innovations:Collaborative Contract Editing|wiki-edited, versioned, and community-validated]] — like Wikipedia articles, but for legal agreements. They evolve as the community's understanding improves. Volunteer lawyers endorse them and take named, accountable responsibility ([[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Innovations:Peer Endorsement|Peer Endorsement]]). This combination of transparency, fluidity, and accountability is rare in the marketplace economy.

=== 1 User = 1 Vote ===
Governance is participatory: '''1 user = 1 vote'''. Users who contribute to the platform are not just consumers — they are stakeholders with genuine decision-making power. This structure gives users reason to trust that the platform will not be redirected against their interests by a small shareholder group.

=== Track Records and Decentralized Data ===
WikiDeal integrates the ability to consult — or to require, in more complex transactions — the '''track record''' of the other party: past transactions, satisfaction ratings, community contributions. Crucially, this data is shared '''only if the parties agree''': decentralized, consent-based data sharing. Both parties can flexibly require or waive the other's track record history, depending on the stakes of the transaction. This mechanism, operating within [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Innovations:Rings Of Trust|Rings of Trust]], allows trust to be built gradually and contextually — without requiring a centralised surveillance architecture.

=== Interests and Community Signals ===
Trust also emerges from shared context: seeing the other party's declared interests, the User Groups they belong to, their volunteering history, or their use of [[Gov/en/Portal:Economy/Miles-Credits|Miles Credits]] for community exchange. These signals provide a richer, more human picture than a simple star rating.

----

== 6. Subscription Mandatory Only on Transactions: Browse Freely ==

A common concern about platform subscriptions is that they create a barrier to entry. WikiDeal addresses this directly:

* '''Free access:''' Anyone can browse WikiDeal — read contract models, explore User Groups, consult governance documentation — without any subscription.
* '''Subscription is triggered only at transaction time:''' The [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Innovations:Subscription|CHF 1/month subscription]] (CHF 10/year) becomes due only when a user signs a contract. If a user browses for months and never transacts, they never pay.
* '''Retroactive billing:''' Overdue subscription months are settled at the time of the next contract signing — no surprise charges between transactions.

What does the subscription unlock? '''Added value''':

* '''Smartphone apps''' for mobile access to the full platform.
* '''Lawyer-endorsed contracts''' — the [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Innovations:Peer Endorsement|Peer Endorsement]] layer that makes contracts legally credible and fair.
* Access to the full library of '''ready-to-use contract models''': employment agreements, volunteering contracts, bike-loan agreements, childcare arrangements, and many more.
* Full access to dispute resolution mechanisms.

The subscription is not a paywall — it is a membership in a community-governed commons. The value returned exceeds the cost, especially for regular users.

----

== 7. Everything United in One Platform ==

One of the [[Gov/en/Portal:Onboarding/Glossary:Founding Question|founding question]]'s key insights is captured in the word "'''A'''" — there should be a single platform, not many fragmented ones. The argument: '''all the small players ally on a single shared platform''' and, together, outcompete the large incumbents — not through acquisition or aggression, but through structural fairness and network effects.

This unity produces practical advantages:

* '''[[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Innovations:Rings Of Trust|Rings of Trust]]''' connect User Groups across domains — a babysitter's Miles Credits become usable for tutoring, transport, or festival services as the Rings expand.
* '''Track records follow users across contexts''' — not siloed by domain, but portable across the platform with user consent.
* '''Contract models are shared and improved collectively''' — a legal innovation adopted in one User Group can propagate across the whole ecosystem.
* '''Governance decisions affect the whole platform''' — improvements in arbitration, pricing, or fraud prevention benefit everyone simultaneously.

The alternative — many small competing platforms — produces fragmentation, duplicated costs, and race-to-the-bottom dynamics. WikiDeal's hypothesis is that a single, well-governed commons is more powerful than many small private silos.

----

== 8. A Deployment Strategy That Grows Without Conquest ==

The deployment strategy is progressive and non-aggressive:

# '''Living Labs first:''' [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Innovations:User Groups|User Groups]] launch as Living Labs — small-scale, real-world experiments in specific domains (babysitting, tutoring, tool libraries, etc.).
# '''Community Migrations:''' Existing cooperatives and associations migrate to WikiDeal, bringing their users and transaction flows.
# '''Rings of Trust expand:''' As more User Groups join, Miles Credits become more widely usable, increasing the network's value.
# '''Open Calls drive innovation:''' The community proposes, debates, and adopts improvements through seasonal [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Open-Call:Main|Open Calls]].
# '''Early Supporters fund the foundation:''' The [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Innovations:Bonding Curve|Bonding Curve]] and [[Gov/en/Portal:Economy/Why-Fund-WikiDeal|funding model]] ensure that those who believe in the project early receive proportionally greater rewards as it grows.
# '''Volunteer lawyers expand legal coverage:''' As the community grows, more endorsed contract models become available in more jurisdictions, reducing friction for international transactions.

At no stage does WikiDeal need to acquire a competitor, launch an aggressive advertising campaign, or exploit its user base to grow. The growth is structural: each new User Group, Ring of Trust, and endorsed contract adds value to the whole ecosystem.

=== What is Reverse Abuse? ===

'''Reverse Abuse''' is a proposed WikiDeal R&D programme that identifies legal mechanisms historically used by large multinationals to optimize financial flows to their own advantage — including aggressive tax optimization, tax havens, and complex holding structures — and then deploys those same '''legal mechanisms''' in the service of small producers, cooperatives, and user-governed supply chains.

The name deliberately signals its logic: the same statutory and financial instruments that have been ''used against'' producers and communities are ''turned around'' and made to serve those very producers. What changes is not the legal vehicle but the '''direction of the financial flows''' and the '''beneficiary of the surplus'''.

This is explicitly framed as lawful, transparent, and non-speculative activity. Reverse Abuse does not advocate or involve money laundering, tax fraud, or any illegal conduct. All structures proposed under this programme operate within applicable law and aim at full transparency.

=== The Problem: Extractive Financial Architecture ===

Global supply chains — tea, cocoa, garments, electronics — are often governed by financial architectures in which:

* Multinational holding companies register intellectual property and financial instruments in low-tax jurisdictions
* Intercompany transfer pricing reduces the taxable income recognised in producing countries
* Complex subsidiary chains legally transfer value from producing territories to holding territories
* Small producers and local communities receive a small fraction of the final market value of what they produce

These mechanisms are generally '''legal''' under current international tax frameworks, even when widely considered unfair or contrary to the public interest. Regulatory reform at the international level has been slow and partial.

=== The Response: Same Tools, Opposite Direction ===

Reverse Abuse proposes that the same statutory instruments — holding structures, subsidiary networks, entities incorporated in favourable jurisdictions — can be created and owned by '''small producers themselves''' (or by their cooperatives, syndicates, compensation funds, and user-governed platforms).

The critical difference lies in '''who controls the entity''' and '''where the financial flows end up''':

{| class="wikitable"
! Dimension !! Conventional Multinational Use !! Reverse Abuse Use
|-
| Legal structure || Holding / subsidiary network || Same structure types
|-
| Ownership || Shareholders / private investors || Producers, cooperatives, users
|-
| Financial flow destination || Accumulation in low-tax territory || Repatriation to producers and community funds
|-
| Finality || Private profit maximisation || Non-profit: compensation and shared commons
|-
| Transparency || Often opaque || Full transparency (WikiDeal standard)
|}

=== Mechanism: Repatriation to Producers ===

Under the Reverse Abuse model, the financial surplus generated by lawful tax optimization is '''repatriated''' to small producers through:

* '''Compensation funds''' (''caisses de compensation''): pooled reserves that distribute benefits directly to producer members
* '''Syndicates and unions''': collective bargaining and distribution bodies governed by producer majorities
* '''User-owned companies''': entities whose statutes establish that financial flows benefit the members (producers, users) rather than outside shareholders
* '''WikiDeal Programme contracts''': the standard WikiDeal contract stack (service agreement, governance charter, distribution rules) adapted to the supply chain context

The result is a supply chain in which the producers '''sell to a company they own''' — meaning the margin that would have gone to an extractive intermediary remains inside the producer community.

=== Why This Works: A Transition Mechanism ===

Reverse Abuse is conceived as a '''transition mechanism''' — not a permanent parallel economy, but a structured pathway toward producer sovereignty. Its logic operates on two levels simultaneously:

# '''Direct benefit''': producers immediately receive a larger share of the value they create
# '''Systemic drainage''': as more producers migrate to user-owned supply chains, the financial flows available to extractive companies diminish; companies whose business model depends on captive producer relationships naturally contract when those producers choose alternative structures

This mirrors the WikiDeal [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Innovations:Deprivatization|Deprivatization]] logic applied to global supply chains: the goal is not confrontation but migration — redirecting participation away from extractive structures and toward community-controlled ones.

=== Example: A Tea Supply Chain ===

As an illustrative case (not an operational proposal): tea producers in a producing country might collectively establish:

* A producer-owned holding entity (potentially registered in a jurisdiction with favourable rules, just as multinationals do)
* A distribution subsidiary in the consuming country
* A licensing agreement between the two entities (on terms favourable to producers)
* A compensation fund governed by a producer-majority board

The tea producers sell directly to their own company. The margin previously captured by an extractive intermediary is instead distributed to producer members via the compensation fund. The entire structure uses the same legal instruments as multinationals; the governance and beneficiary structure differ entirely.

=== Relationship to WikiDeal Programmes ===

Reverse Abuse is classified as a '''programme-type innovation''': it is expressed not as a single marketplace or rule, but as an '''ensemble of contracts''' that together constitute a supply-chain governance programme. It draws on and extends several existing WikiDeal mechanisms:

* [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Innovations:Exit To Community|Exit to Community]] — progressive transfer of control to users/producers
* [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Innovations:Deprivatization|Deprivatization]] — reclaiming extractive markets as user-governed commons
* [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Innovations:Collaborative Contract Editing|Collaborative Contract Editing]] — contracts versioned and community-validated
* [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Innovations:User Groups|User Groups]] — autonomous communities with their own governance

In the Programmes framework, Reverse Abuse would most naturally be explored under the '''Market''' and '''Social''' categories — specifically in contexts where existing supply chains can be progressively migrated to producer-controlled governance.

=== Legal and Ethical Framework ===

The programme operates strictly within the following constraints:

* '''Lawful only''': all structures and financial flows must comply with applicable national and international law
* '''Transparent''': full disclosure of entity structures, financial flows, and governance rules (WikiDeal standard)
* '''Non-profit finality''': surplus repatriated to producers, not accumulated by a controlling entity
* '''Not money laundering''': no concealment of origin or destination of funds; structures are explicitly designed for full auditability
* '''Not tax fraud''': optimization uses available legal provisions; no false declarations or hidden transactions

The programme is proposed as an R&D hypothesis for study, legal review, and community validation through [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Open-Call:Main|Open Calls]]. No operational structure is established or implied by this page.

=== Status and Next Steps ===

As of the date of this page, Reverse Abuse is an '''R&D concept under study'''. Proposed next steps include:

# Legal review by volunteer or partner lawyers (via [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Innovations:Peer Endorsement|Peer Endorsement]])
# Identification of pilot supply chains suitable for a proof of concept
# Structured [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Open-Call:Main|Open Call]] for economists, cooperative legal experts, and supply-chain specialists
