''Innovations index, WikiDeal R&D''
''Innovations index, WikiDeal R&D. Each innovation is one table row; the full explanation lives on its dedicated page.''


This page is the comparative hub for the '''socio-economic innovations''' embedded in the WikiDeal model. Each innovation has a named origin (a foundation, movement, or individual thinker) and combines existing traditions (Wikimedia governance, the cooperative movement, token economics, free software, the Semantic Web) in ways specific to WikiDeal. The list is '''open and unlimited''': the count does not matter, only the innovations do.
<span id="mix-culture"></span>
== Principles ==


'''Origin legend:''' 🔵 Wikimedia Foundation · 🟢 WikiDeal concept ([[Gov/en/Portal:Meta/Licensing-and-Credits|credits]]) · 🟠 Crypto / Token Economics · 🟣 Cooperative Movement · 🔴 Free Software Foundation · 🌐 Tim Berners-Lee / W3C
None of the ideas gathered here is a total innovation, and none is zero innovation. Each one is inspired by others: this work belongs to the mix culture, and what becomes interesting is the assembly of the whole. Sometimes an idea is simply better calibrated, better highlighted or better deployed here, or the context is favourable to test it.
 
The process is iterative: test, collect feedback through qualitative and quantitative analyses, and improve progressively, learning while doing, keeping a balance between overall coherence and going to the essentials. Some innovations are planned for testing and not yet deployed.
 
The innovations form '''two parts''', both listed on this page to give a global vision: the '''core''', meaning the innovations that concern the WikiDeal ecosystem at large, and the innovations '''specific to the marketplaces'''. The majority of the innovations are expected to appear progressively in the different marketplaces.
 
The list is '''open and unlimited''': the count does not matter, only the innovations do. These are intended as '''citizen-initiated innovations''': ideas stemming from citizen initiative, proposed and refined in the open. The methodology envisaged to move them from idea to prototype and deployment (five work profiles combined with open calls) is described on the [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Innovations:AI Supported Deployment|AI Supported Deployment]] page.
 
Two foundational principles carry all the others. '''Innovation number one: a double platform''', contract models '''endorsed by lawyers''' on one side, smartphone applications built on those models on the other; the contracts are intended to be '''fair, balanced and consumer approved''', serving the interests of users and providers, not the interests of third-party structures. '''Innovation number two: the same governance as Wikipedia''', applied to deals and marketplaces instead of encyclopedic knowledge. Both appear as rows in the Foundations table below, with their dedicated pages.
 
<span id="innovation-criteria"></span>
== Innovation criteria ==
 
What qualifies an idea as an innovation worth listing here? The criteria below guide the selection. The first five reflect the current working basis; the last three are additional proposals, offered as a basis for discussion.
 
# '''It answers a real need.''' An innovation is retained because it addresses a concrete problem, not for the pleasure of studying it.
# '''The devil is in the details.''' Sometimes a single detail, better calibrated, makes a large difference in practice.
# '''A new field of application.''' Applying an existing mechanism to a field where it is not common counts as innovation: for example, applying the free licences of the software and knowledge world, such as CC BY-SA, to contracts is not common practice.
# '''Anonymous, privacy-respecting data collection.''' The innovation allows qualitative and quantitative analyses without exposing personal data.
# '''A social and ecological role.''' The innovation contributes to equity of chances and to reducing the weakening of life on Earth, in a context where the United Nations and scientific bodies document the beginning of a mass extinction: see the [https://www.ipbes.net/global-assessment IPBES 2019 Global Assessment], the [https://www.ipcc.ch/assessment-report/ar6/ IPCC Sixth Assessment Report] and the [https://www.un.org/en/climatechange/science/climate-issues/biodiversity United Nations overview on biodiversity and climate].
# '''Reversibility (proposed, basis for discussion).''' An innovation should be testable and measurable, and it should be possible to roll it back without harming the people who tried it.
# '''Transferability (proposed, basis for discussion).''' An innovation should work across countries and legal systems, or at least clearly document the adaptations it needs.
# '''Simplicity of access (proposed, basis for discussion).''' An innovation should be understandable and usable without expert knowledge, so that it does not create a new elite of specialists.
 
<span id="how-to-read"></span>
== How to read this page ==
 
Every innovation appears as one table row, with a link to its dedicated page and a very short description. The origin of each innovation is documented on its own page and in the [[Gov/en/Portal:Meta/Licensing-and-Credits|credits]].
 
Each table also proposes a '''deployment status''' at a given date (here: July 2026), on the following scale: '''under study''' · '''starting''' · '''being deployed''' · '''deployed''' · '''widely deployed'''. The status values are an initial proposal, under review.
