	Proposed answer: yes. Two light mechanisms are proposed alongside the regular evaluation. A '''coup de coeur''' (a heartfelt favourite) would let the committee reward a contribution that touched or convinced it, even outside the strict frame of the call. A '''micro boost''' would reward a small idea that stimulated a lot: a remark of two lines that unlocks a debate or reorients a design can be worth more than pages of text. Both would involve modest amounts and a short public explanation.		Proposed answer: yes. Two light mechanisms are proposed alongside the regular evaluation.

	'''How will I know if I am selected? Can I get ~~feedback~~, or contest a decision?'''		'''How will I know if I am selected? Can I get comments, or contest a decision?'''

	Proposed answer: when money is attributed and paid, the WikiDeal team informs the contributors concerned directly. Each attribution is intended to come with a public explanation, so non selected contributors can understand the reasoning. Questions can be asked on the discussion page of the call. A formal appeal procedure does not exist yet for these micro calls; whether one is needed is under discussion, and would be examined as the amounts grow.

	WikiDeal draws inspiration from these frameworks without copying their rules: no consortium, no formal scoring grid for the micro calls of the first wave, but the same underlying logic of relevance, impact and feasibility, applied with common sense by the committee and the community.		WikiDeal draws inspiration from these frameworks without copying their rules: no consortium, no formal scoring grid for the micro calls of the first wave, but the same underlying logic of relevance, impact and feasibility, applied with common sense by the committee and the community.

			When applying these criteria, the evaluation team is required to use the '''Open Call CDIEM Framework''' as much as possible. For full details on the evaluation process and the rules governing the team, see the [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Open-Calls:Commissions\|Open Call Commissions]] page.

			'''Can I also propose to implement the idea myself? What are the "implementation conditions"?'''

			Proposed answer: yes. A contributor can submit an idea ("here is what should be done") and also offer to implement it ("I am ready to do it, and here are my conditions"). An implementation proposal must clearly specify the expected financial amount, the deadline, the exact deliverables, and the ratio of cash versus Rewards.
			The core principle of the ecosystem, especially in its early phases, is to pay very little or zero in direct cash, and all or almost all in [[Gov/en/Portal:Economy/Rewards\|Rewards]] (no guarantee). To compensate for the risk, the value in Rewards is typically much higher than the cash equivalent (e.g., an average multiplier of 30x). A contributor might state: "I request CHF 20/hour in cash, OR CHF 600/hour in Rewards."

			'''Who exactly evaluates the proposals and how is the team composed?'''

			Proposed answer: Each call is managed by a dedicated Open Call Commission. The commission is composed of a Chair (who leads the evaluation and seeks consensus), a Facilitator (who handles administrative tasks and formal replies), and a group of Evaluators (experts in the field, usually an odd number like 3 or 5). The commission evaluates the proposals, justifies its decisions, and remains active for a post-funding follow-up one year later to assess the implementation of the ideas. For full details, see the [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Open-Calls:Commissions\|Open Call Commissions]] page.

	Proposed answer: Karma tokens are the internal ~~credits~~ of the WikiDeal ecosystem, usable for services within it. A contributor can choose to receive part or all of a reward in Karma tokens instead of cash. They are not money, they are not convertible on demand, and their scope of use would grow with the ecosystem itself.
