__TOC__

== What this section holds ==

User guides that help people carry a contract through to success: from daring to ask, to signing well, to closing without loose ends. WikiDeal tutorials aim at three qualities at once:

* '''Educational:''' after the tutorial, the user can actually do the thing, not just nod.
* '''Funny:''' humor lowers the shame threshold around money, commitments and saying no.
* '''Spectacular:''' pattern-breaking, artistic, punchy. A tutorial people share is worth ten they merely tolerate.

== Formats ==

* '''Short videos''' (around 90 seconds): one situation, one mistake, one fix.
* '''Comic strips:''' the awkward moment, drawn, with the better line to say.
* '''Checklists:''' before signing, before reminding, before closing.
* '''Quizzes:''' "what would you answer?", with the contract clause revealed after.
* '''Real-life sketches:''' staged scenes of the conversations everyone dreads, played twice: the disaster version, then the contract version.

== What a good tutorial does ==

# Starts from a real, recognizable situation (not from the platform's features).
# Shows the cost of the informal way: the misunderstanding, the resentment, the lost friendship.
# Shows the same scene with a light written agreement, and how the hard conversation becomes easy.
# Ends with exactly one thing to do next.
# References its sources: the relevant clause, the [[Markets/en/Portal:Model/Legal-References:Model|legal reference]], the [[Markets/en/Portal:Model/Statistics:Model|statistic]] that proves the point.

== The tutorial sub-community ==

Tutorial makers (writers, illustrators, video makers, comedians) form a sub-community within each market. This sub-community is intended to organize its '''own open calls''' to attract more effective, faster, funnier, more artistic and more dynamic illustrations of the market's contracts. See [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Open-Calls:Main|Open Calls]] for the general mechanism.

All tutorials belong to [[:Category:Tutorials]].
