The '''Civic Flex Pricing''' is the first implemented pilot of WikiDeal's [[Gov/en/Portal:Economy/Civic-Incentive|Civic Incentive]] framework. Its intention: by linking commission rates to the level of civic participation, it turns every fee into a signal — and an invitation — to contribute to the community. It applies to both '''periodic subscriptions''' and '''service commissions'''.
== How It Works ==
The Civic Flex Pricing applies a '''Soft Flex''' — a slight, transparent adjustment — to the base commission or subscription rate. The direction of the adjustment depends on the user's participation level:

* '''Active contributors''' get a discount (typically 5%, 10%, or 20%) by participating in Deliberation, Community Work, or Celebrations.
* '''Passive users''' pay a modest surcharge. If the community is highly active, the surcharge is stronger; if barely active, it remains very low.

The surcharge is never punitive — it is a live indicator of community vitality, always keeping the actual amounts modest and acceptable.

== Application: Subscriptions & Service Commissions ==
The Civic Flex Pricing applies to two types of fees:

* '''Periodic Subscriptions:''' Monthly or annual subscription fees include a Flex component. A subscriber who participates civically pays the base rate or less; one who does not, pays a small surcharge.
* '''Service Commissions:''' Transaction-level commissions on marketplace deals also include a Flex component, modulated by the civic engagement score of the parties involved.

Calculation models are adapted by each Community of Practice (User Group). More mature markets naturally stabilize their Flex Rate as civic culture becomes habitual.

== Concrete Example ==
To illustrate how Civic Flex Pricing works in practice, consider a babysitting service provider with a standard commission of '''5%''':

* '''Active contributor (↓ 4%)''': This person participated in the working group that formalized babysitting rules, is an active member of the "Babysitting — Support for Single Parents" User Group, and has already done voluntary or semi-voluntary babysitting days. Their commission drops to '''4%''' (a ~20% reduction).
* '''New or passive user (↑ 6%)''': Someone starting out with no civic participation yet may pay '''6%''' (a ~20% surcharge).

''Important: these figures are illustrative estimates only. The real numbers will be defined by each Community of Practice. The impact on individual finances is '''modest''' — it is a signal and a principle, not a heavy financial burden.''

== The Miles Counterpart ==
Beyond the commission adjustment, active contributors earn [[Gov/en/Portal:Economy/Miles-Market|Miles Credits]]. These Miles are not symbolic — they provide access to community resources at little or no cost:

* Housing (cooperative housing, shared spaces)
* Transport (shared vehicles, community rides)
* Food — shared meals, community kitchens, but also: near-expiry products from supermarkets or producers, overripe or surplus fruit, agricultural surpluses. Contributors with Miles can exchange them directly with farmers, suppliers, or grocery stores for products at very low cost or free.
* Advice and support (including legal advice)

Active contributors thus receive a double benefit: a lower commission rate, ''and'' access to a richer, more connected community life through Miles.

== Effect and Intent ==
The Civic Flex Pricing creates two effects simultaneously:

* '''Individual incentive:''' A small financial signal that rewards participation without requiring it.
* '''Community mirror:''' The size of the surcharge reflects how engaged the community is as a whole — making civic health visible and tangible.

It is not primarily a revenue mechanism. It is a ''cultural signal'': WikiDeal values participation, and that value is reflected in every transaction.

== Authorship & References ==
The Civic Flex Pricing as a socio-technical innovation applied to e-commerce platforms is an original contribution of '''Théo Bondolfi''' (Ynternet.org Foundation). Related concepts exist in the fields of civic technology, participatory economics, and platform cooperativism, and may be cited as they are identified.

Indigenous inspiration: the link between civic participation, community celebration, and economic fairness draws on practices observed in communities such as the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karampuang Karampuang community] in Indonesia.
