	'''User Groups''' are WikiDeal's primary organisational units below the platform level. A User Group is a community of WikiDeal members organised around a specific service category (babysitting), geographic region (babysitting in Spanish-speaking countries), or combination of both. User Groups operate with significant autonomy — setting their own Commission rates within WikiDeal's boundaries, managing their own arbitration systems, and organising their own community events — while respecting the core WikiDeal principles embedded in the model.

			== The coopetitive core of the Market ==

			'''User groups are the core of the Market.''' They organize freely, in [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Innovations:Coopetition\|coopetitive]] mode: competition inside WikiDeal happens between user groups, cooperatively. Anyone can participate in several user groups at once.

			'''The more inclusive a group is, the less competition it faces''': inclusiveness reduces internal competition, leaving mostly external competition. Very specific postures are possible. Two dictated examples:

			* a group specialized in '''night transport between two cities''': private night buses, with the possibility to sleep in the vehicle;
			* '''babysitting only in a holiday context''': young people travelling to attractive destinations while being babysitters.

	=== Revenue Model ===		<span id="revenue-model"></span>
			== Revenue Model ==

	User Groups generate income through three channels. First, a share of the Commission on every Transaction within their category/region flows to the User Group's operational fund. Second, User Groups can launch their own [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Innovations:Bonding Curve\|bonding curve]] funding rounds — using the same mechanism as WikiDeal Core but for their specific context. A babysitting User Group in East Africa might raise CHF 200,000 through its own curve, using the funds to localise contracts, train arbitrators, and build community Infrastructure. Third, User Groups can apply to WikiDeal's [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Open-Call:Main\|Open Call]] fund for specific project grants.		User Groups generate income through three channels.

	This revenue model is designed to align incentives: User Groups that grow the volume and quality of Transactions in their category earn more, reinvesting in further growth. User Groups that operate arbitration services professionally attract more Transactions, because users trust the dispute resolution. The result is a federated system where local expertise is rewarded and central overhead is minimised.

	=== Incubation and Support ===		<span id="incubation"></span>
			== Incubation and Support ==

	New User Groups can apply for incubation support from Ynternet.org Foundation, which provides: legal template adaptation for local jurisdictions; technical setup assistance for the WikiDeal platform; access to the foundation's network of advisors and partner organisations; and a small seed grant from the Open Call fund. Incubation is time-limited (typically 12 months) and requires the User Group to demonstrate genuine community need, governance capacity, and alignment with WikiDeal values.

Incubation is time-limited (typically 12 months) and requires the User Group to demonstrate genuine community need, governance capacity, and alignment with WikiDeal values.

	Co-incubation is also supported: two or more User Groups working in complementary domains (e.g. babysitting and tutoring in the same city) can co-incubate, sharing Infrastructure costs and community events while maintaining separate governance. This reduces the overhead of launching multiple groups in the same geography and creates natural bridges between service categories — a family using WikiDeal for babysitting may discover tutoring services, and vice versa.

	=== Examples of Planned User Groups ===		<span id="examples"></span>
			== Examples of Planned User Groups ==

	WikiDeal's roadmap includes User Groups for: babysitting (global launch, multiple regional groups); private tutoring (language-based and subject-based groups); pet care (sitting, walking, veterinary facilitation); bicycle and tool lending cooperatives; local food markets and community-supported agriculture; freelance creative services; and language learning exchanges. Each of these domains has an established informal economy that is (illustrative example) either unplatformed (and therefore lacks trust Infrastructure) or over-platformed (and therefore paying excessive Commissions to extractive intermediaries).
