The [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Innovations:Funding Stabilizer|Boost mechanism]] is the auto-regulator between Rewards and Miles Credits:
The [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Innovations:Need-Driven Funding|Need-Driven Funding mechanism]] is the auto-regulator between Rewards and Miles Credits:


# '''Phase 1 — Miles first:''' When the platform is growing, Miles Credits increase first. More services are available → community activity grows → Miles value rises.
# '''Phase 1 — Miles first:''' When the platform is growing, Miles Credits increase first. More services are available → community activity grows → Miles value rises.
# '''Phase 2 — Cash follows:''' As the service economy grows, subscription revenue grows → Rewards (no guarantee*) become available → funders can convert to CHF.

The Boost ratio changes based on the platform's NEEDS — not based on speculation or market sentiment. When the platform needs more community activity, Miles ratio increases. When revenue is secure, Cash ratio increases.
The Need-Driven Funding ratio changes based on the platform's NEEDS — not based on speculation or market sentiment. When the platform needs more community activity, Miles ratio increases. When revenue is secure, Cash ratio increases.


Boost Ratio = f(Active funders / Platform funding needs)
Need-Driven Funding ratio = f(Active funders / Platform funding needs)

The model is fractal: WikiDeal Core funds the platform. User Groups fund their specific marketplaces. The same machine operates at every level — transparent, at-cost, non-speculative, governed by the Boost mechanism.
