__TOC__

== What a packaged contract is ==

A '''contract in action''' is a contract packaged for use on platforms and apps: ready to sign in minutes, safe to sign because its room for error has been removed in advance. A package combines:

* '''Fixed parameters:''' clauses that cannot be changed inside the package. They carry the protections the package is built on (dispute resolution, data rules, the market's non-negotiables).
* '''Predefined variables:''' the parts users choose, each limited to a predefined range or list of values. The ranges are intended to be validated by lawyers, so that any combination a user can select produces a sound contract.

The user never faces a blank page: they pick a package, set the variables, read the summary, sign. The full clause text and its [[Markets/en/Portal:Model/Contract-Base:Model|pedagogical commentary]] stay one tap away.

== Anatomy of a package ==

{| class="wikitable" style="width:100%;"
|-
! Element !! Content
|-
| Name || Short, descriptive, in everyday words.
|-
| Intended users || Who this package fits, and who it does not.
|-
| Fixed parameters || List of locked clauses, with a one-line reason for each lock.
|-
| Variables || Table: variable · allowed values or range · default value.
|-
| Validation status || Draft · under legal review · intended to be validated by lawyers for [jurisdictions]. A package would be offered in apps only after validation.
|-
| Version and changelog || Packages are versioned like contracts: changes are visible, history is archived.
|}

== Neutral example skeleton ==

'''Package: [Everyday deal, small scale]''' (validation status: draft)

* ''Fixed:'' mediation-then-arbitration clause (protects both sides cheaply) · data and confidentiality clause (variables private, statistics anonymized) · amendment mechanism (changes go through the platform, never by informal message).
* ''Variables:''
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Variable !! Allowed values !! Default
|-
| Amount || [min] to [max], steps of [step] || [default]
|-
| Duration || [list of durations] || [default]
|-
| Guarantee || none · guarantor · pledge · support group || none
|-
| Cancellation notice || [list of notice periods] || [default]
|}

Any combination of these values is intended to yield a contract a lawyer has already seen. If a user needs something outside the ranges, the package points them to the full [[Markets/en/Portal:Model/Contract-Base:Model|contract model]] instead of silently accepting an unvalidated deal.

== Rules for package designers ==

* Fewer variables beat more: every added variable multiplies the combinations to validate.
* Lock what protects; open what personalizes.
* State clearly, in the package itself, that draft packages are working material and not legal advice.
* When a validated package changes, its validation status returns to draft until re-reviewed.
