			{{KidsIntro\|Validation means checking if things are good and true. On WikiDeal, lawyers, experts, and regular people all help check writing, code, rules, and pictures. They vote to decide if something is ready to use.}}
			{{ExpertIntro\|We are heading towards multi-stakeholder validation frameworks that transcend binary approval models. This hypothesis proposes integrating legal endorsement through credentialed professionals with community validation via practical expertise and usage signals, mediated by Condorcet voting for strategic decisions. The emerging trend suggests distributed accountability mechanisms where professional liability and community judgment converge in arbitration processes, challenging jurisdictional constraints.}}

__TOC__

== Why "Validation"? ==

"Validation" is deliberately broad because WikiDeal validates not only content, but also code (software), strategies (governance decisions), policies (community rules), and images, concepts and other non-textual assets.

Major validations take place through '''voting''', with multiple methods including [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condorcet_method Condorcet-style votes] (as used in [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/Board_elections Wikimedia governance]) for political and strategic orientations.

The term was chosen over alternatives such as "Endorsement" (too narrow — retained as sub-category), "Review" (too limited), "Approval" (too binary), and "Human Adoption" (ambiguous). See [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Article_validation Article validation] and [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Article_endorsement Article endorsement] on Meta-Wiki for background.

== Legal Endorsement ==

Qualified legal professionals formally vouch for the legal quality of content, '''engaging their professional licence'''.

=== What is public on attorney/jurist profiles ===
* Official status (attorney, jurist, notary, etc.)
* Region of competence (country, state, canton)
* Languages of practice
* Mode: with or without service provision
* Quality and quantity of contributions

=== What is verified but not publicly visible ===
* Diplomas and bar admissions — stored in a secure space, verified by the platform
* Licence verification documents

=== With service provision ===
The professional registers with their real name, offers consulting and adaptation services at their own rates, and accepts WikiDeal miles or currency. Full professional responsibility is engaged.

=== Voluntary contribution ===
The professional reviews and endorses content as a community contribution. Their responsibility is engaged to a lesser degree — they are sharing expertise, not providing a professional service.

== Community Validation ==

'''No legal credentials required.''' Everyone can contribute creativity, critical sense, and practical experience. Two indicators: '''Confirmed''' (explicit review) and '''Used''' (real-world usage).

== Arbitration ==

Arbitration is where Legal Endorsement and Community Validation meet. The '''procedure and legal basis''' require Legal Endorsement. The '''compensatory outcomes''' are decided through Community Validation — by entrepreneurs, freelancers, and experienced users who bring practical sense and critical judgment.

''Content coming soon. See [[Portal:Validation/Arbitration]].''

== Voting Procedures ==

Major validations — strategies, policies, governance decisions — are resolved through voting:

* '''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condorcet_method Condorcet method]''' — ranked-choice voting as used in [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/Board_elections Wikimedia governance]
* '''Simple majority''' — for routine decisions
* '''Supermajority''' — for statutory or structural changes

== Open Policy Questions — Current Pioneering Debates ==

These are the pioneering debates that will shape WikiDeal's validation framework. Everyone is welcome to contribute.

* How does a professional concretely engage liability? What recourse exists?
* Should endorsement be per-page, per-section, or per-version?
* How are endorsements displayed? (green banner, badge, counter?)
* How do WikiDeal miles interact with endorsement services?
* Cross-jurisdictional endorsement rules?
* ''Add your question here — use the Edit button or the Talk page.''
