	~~== What is it? ==~~

	The Rating Balancing Policy aims at keeping marketplace ratings '''honest, calibrated and diversified'''. It was previously presented as the "Judgment Balance Indicator"; the name changed for two reasons:

	* what is balanced is '''rating''', not judgment;
	* it is not just an indicator: the policy aims at '''proactively stimulating balance''', not only measuring it.

	~~<span id="honest-calibrated-diversified"></span>~~
	~~== Honest, calibrated, diversified ==~~

	* '''Honest''': ratings should reflect real experiences, without gaming.
	* '''Calibrated''': extreme patterns (such as systematic 1-star or 5-star scores) are weighted with reference to each rater's track record, so consistently extreme behaviour carries less distorting weight.
	* '''Diversified''': feedback should come from many different people, not always the same ones commenting (and not always the same ones commenting negatively). Motivation and incentive tools, close to the [[Gov/en/Portal:Economy/Civic-Incentive\|civic incentive]] approach, aim at widening the circle of people who give feedback.

	~~<span id="how-it-works"></span>~~
	~~== How it works on WikiDeal ==~~

	The policy concerns the marketplaces and belongs to the governance family of innovations. It pairs with [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Innovations:Incentivized Feedback\|Incentivized Feedback]], which stimulates detailed feedback, while the Rating Balancing Policy keeps the resulting ratings fair. It also connects directly with the [[Gov/en/Portal:Economy/Civic-Incentive\|Civic Incentive]] and the [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Innovations:Maturity Score\|Maturity Score]] systems.

	~~The exact weighting model and stimulation tools are documented progressively as the platform evolves, structured around three core mechanisms:~~

	* '''User Education:''' Users are educated on how to leave constructive, precise comments without exaggerating or wasting time. The system provides guidance on moderation, precision, and contextual use cases to ensure feedback is genuinely useful.
	* '''Early Reviewer Advantages:''' For the very first users who take the time to comment on new services, persons, or groups, the platform proactively offers advantages. These early, detailed comments are heavily rewarded—notably in [[Gov/en/Portal:Economy/Karma-Tokens\|Karma tokens]] (for example, earning the right to an extra free night in a 7-night accommodation booking). This jumpstarts the reputation and maturity of the given service.
	* '''Feedback "Tax" and Penalties:''' To prevent skewed rating distributions and artificial positivity, a "tax" or penalty mechanism is applied to users who too frequently ignore feedback requests, or who exclusively leave positive comments without nuance. This ensures that the overall rating ecosystem remains critical, realistic, and highly reliable.
