These are not promises. WikiDeal is a [[Gov/en/Portal:Onboarding/Glossary:Founding Question|proof of concept]] and a citizen science project. But there are substantive reasons to believe the model can achieve broad adhesion. They are laid out here as '''success levers''' — the possible sources and drivers of success.
These are not promises. WikiDeal is a [[Gov/en/Portal:Onboarding/Glossary:Founding Question|proof of concept]] and a citizen science project. But there are substantive reasons to believe the model can achieve broad adhesion. They are laid out here as '''success levers''' — the possible sources and drivers of success.


Each lever is a '''conjunction of several [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Innovations:Main|sociotechnical innovations]]''' working together. This page does '''not''' describe the innovations themselves (see the [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Innovations:Main|Innovations Index]] for that); it describes the '''competitive advantages''' that emerge when those innovations combine. The levers are open and expected to evolve over time; these are the initial proposed levers, all subject to community review via the [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Open-Call:Main|Open Call]] process.

Early supporters who believe in the project receive proportionally greater rewards as it grows. This '''efficient funding mechanism''' is a conjunction of innovations a Bonding Curve (transparent, mathematically fixed issuance of Credits) coupled with a Need-Driven Funding (dynamic recalibration of newly generated Credits between community and individual rewards). Together they give early adopters predictable, adaptive incentives, aligning personal reward with sustainable, community-beneficial growth.

Flexibility also means '''reactivating basic services''' where they have disappeared. For services with few providers and high demand (transport in low-density or mountain regions, urgent transport, water quality control, sanitary transport and similar cases), services may be sold at a higher price, but at least they become available again. In this sense, WikiDeal is intended to be a source of reactivation of basic services in regions or domains where supply is currently scarce.
