{{KidsIntro|This is where WikiDeal makes fair rules for buying and selling things. Different groups like taxis and housing work together here to make deals honest and kind.}}

{{ExpertIntro|We are heading towards decentralized market governance through collaborative rule-making. This hypothesis proposes that distributed community oversight, coupled with trust networks and arbitration frameworks, can establish fairer economic coordination. The emerging trend suggests markets function optimally when participants collectively design contracts, observatories monitor compliance, and transparent tooling reduces information asymmetries.}}

Welcome to the WikiDeal markets home page. Market pages are where WikiDeal develops its rules, contracts and frameworks for a fair, trustworthy and cooperative economy. A market is a specific economic area in which people and institutions make deals. Market pages help to coordinate the community’s efforts by grouping contributors around these markets, thus centralizing resources, recommendations and discussions for each market.

This home page is organized in '''~~five~~ parts''': Portals, Programs, Observatories, Rings of Trust ~~and~~ the Toolbox.

This home page is organized in '''six parts''': Portals, Programs, Observatories, Rings of Trust, the Toolbox and Arbitration.

== 3. Observatories ==

Observatories are where WikiDeal '''watches and documents''' a field, rather than running deals in it. They belong to the Market space too. ~~Examples~~ being explored:

Observatories are where WikiDeal '''watches and documents''' a field, rather than running deals in it. They belong to the Market space too. They are intended as citizen observatories: participatory, volunteer-run, and unlimited in number. The concept and the full open list live on the [[Market:Observatory|Observatories home page]]. Observatories being explored include:

* Competition & co-~~operation observatory~~

* [[Market:Observatory/Competition-and-Cooperation|Competition & Cooperation]]

* Planned ~~obsolescence observatory~~

* [[Market:Observatory/Whistleblowing|Whistleblowing]]

* ~~Free legal watch~~

* [[Market:Observatory/Community-Migrations|Community Migrations]]

* [[Market:Observatory/Planned-Obsolescence|Planned Obsolescence]]

''Observatory ~~pages are being structured; links will be added as the pages are created~~.''

* [[Market:Observatory/Karma-Market-and-Time-Banking|Karma Market & Time Banking]]

* ...and more: see the [[Market:Observatory|full open list]].

== 4. Rings of Trust ==

Rings of Trust are the '''circles of mutual trust''' within which users share ~~Miles Credits~~, recommendations and guarantees. Marketplaces, programs and user groups can all operate inside one or more Rings of Trust.

The endorsement chain: a '''base of general clauses''' → '''Legal Endorsement''' by lawyers → '''endorsed models''' for specific contexts.

<span id="use-this-model"></span>'''Use this model.''' Users can copy a neutral contract model and then start editing it freely. MediaWiki offers a native way to do this: open an address of the form <code><nowiki>https://wikideal.net/w/index.php?title=TITLE-OF-YOUR-COPY&action=edit&preload=TITLE-OF-THE-MODEL-PAGE</nowiki></code>, replacing <code>TITLE-OF-YOUR-COPY</code> with the title of the new page you want to create and <code>TITLE-OF-THE-MODEL-PAGE</code> with the exact title of the model page: the editor opens pre-filled with the model, ready to be adapted. When copying a model, you also need to determine in which portal your contract belongs (transportation, housing, personal services, and so on); the categories for this classification remain to be created and are part of the questions of the [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Open-Calls:URL-Structure|open call on URL naming and structure]].

== 6. Arbitration ==

When a deal goes wrong despite everything, '''simplified arbitration''' is the option being explored to resolve the dispute: a simple compensation request first, a formal request with evidence next, and a human decision only at the very end, at a cost proportionate to the amount at stake. See the [[Market:Arbitration|Arbitration page]] for the concrete steps, the costs, the timelines and the draft model agreement, and the [[Gov/en/Portal:Justice/Arbitration|governance explanation]] for the concept and philosophy.
