{{ExpertIntro|This observatory tracks organizations aligned with commons-based peer production and platform cooperativism. The emerging trend suggests WikiDeal is positioning itself within an ecosystem of mission-driven entities鈥攆oundations, networks, and cooperative platforms鈥攚here synergistic collaboration may prove more strategic than direct competition, particularly across knowledge commons, open infrastructure, and alternative economic models.}}

The '''Potential Partners observatory''' is intended to watch organizations with which WikiDeal could cooperate rather than compete: foundations, networks, cooperatives and platforms bringing complementary strengths. A first list of potential partners already exists in the [[Market:Observatory/Competition-and-Cooperation#potential-partners|Competition & Cooperation observatory]]; this observatory would extend and maintain it, and prepare concrete cooperation proposals.
