Terminology: use official term 'cash-out' instead of 'restitution' (Rewards mechanism)
Shorten intros per Theo's 20s rule

{{KidsIntro|When people pay their small yearly fee to use WikiDeal, that money is shared between everyone who helped fund the project. Each fee gives everyone a tiny piece, so people watch their piggy bank grow slowly. And nobody is forced to pay: you only need the fee when you sign a real contract.}}

{{ExpertIntro|The cash-out of Rewards is funded by user subscriptions: each subscription paid is redistributed across all holders of activated Rewards, pro rata. With, for example, 30 to 40 million activated Rewards, one franc is distributed in one thirty-millionth per Reward: very little, but not zero, so holders see their cash-out grow progressively. Three options are envisaged for the percentage of each subscription attributed to the cash-out: 100%, a fixed share estimated at 50%, or a degressive percentage starting at 100% and decreasing to 1%. For the donors of the first million, the commitment is between 50 and 100%. Subscriptions are not invasive: the platform can be used without paying, a subscription is only required to sign a contract in a marketplace, and it is inactive by default. The best formula is the subject of a dedicated open call.}}
{{ExpertIntro|Reward cash-out is funded by user subscriptions, redistributed pro rata across activated Rewards; with tens of millions of Rewards, each payout is tiny but non-zero and grows over time. Several allocation percentages are envisaged (100%, ~50%, or degressive). Subscriptions stay non-invasive, required only to sign a contract.}}
