	''This section documents the core research questions and the mechanisms developed to answer them (merged from the former Research portal page).''		''This section documents the core research questions and the mechanisms developed to answer them (merged from the former Research portal page).''

			WikiDeal also explores how research questions themselves could emerge from citizens: an idea is formalised in an open pre-call stage, validated as a call by the community of researchers, then developed as a research programme and incubated by a User Group. This pipeline is described in [[Gov/en/Portal:Ecosystem/Coopetition#merit-research\|Merit through research contributions]]. Participatory research is one example of the intended scope, not its totality.

+In other words: can an e-commerce platform be simultaneously ethical, participative, low-cost and economically self-sustaining, without relying on advertising, speculation or shareholder profit? The working hypothesis of WikiDeal is: yes, but only if the governance model is radically different. This would require combining the principles of digital commons (like Wikipedia), a cooperative commission model, and community-driven value distribution.
