'''Target Audience''' — WikiDeal marketplace portal.
{{KidsIntro|A page explaining who WikiDeal is for and how it helps different people.}}


''Here is a first content idea for this page.'' This portal organizes everything around the Target Audience market: contract bases and models, clauses, legal references per country, alerts, debates, usage statistics, use cases, and associated smartphone apps (one wiki, many apps).

== Structure (10 dimensions) ==
= Target Audience & Incubation Strategy =
* Contract bases & models · Individual clauses · Common errors
* Legal references (per country) · Alerts & risks · Debates (Talk:)
* Usage statistics · Lifecycle (amendment/addendum/closing/compensation) · Use cases
* Associated apps · Key stories

WikiDeal follows a '''two-phase adoption strategy'''. The first phase targets motivated contributors with academic and practical experience in collaborative economics. The second phase opens to the general public through easy-to-use apps and marketplace pilots.

== Phase 1 — Incubation Audience ==
 
The incubation public is composed of people with a strong motivation to contribute and who benefit from co-financing support in one or more of the five platform pillars:
 
{| class="wikitable wikitable"
|-
! #
! Pillar
! Description
|-
| 1
| '''Market & Funding'''
| Includes fundraising and market deployment
|-
| 2
| '''Technology'''
| App development, MediaWiki infrastructure, APIs

| 3
| '''Legal'''
| Contract drafting, endorsements, governance protocols
|-
| 4
| '''Core / Governance'''
| Steering committee, open calls, decision processes

| 5
| '''Community & Outreach'''
| User group incubation, ambassador networks
|}
 
=== Target Profiles for Phase 1 ===
 
* Practitioners of solidarity economy
* Wiki culture enthusiasts (Wikipedia contributors, Wikimedia community)
* Crypto & token economics explorers
* Digital and societal transition advocates
* Ecosystem solutions researchers
* '''Academic researchers in economics, especially Wikinomics''' (key keyword)
* People who enjoy complexity and systemic thinking
* Entrepreneurial profiles with academic or field experience
 
== Phase 2 — General Public (via Apps) ==
 
Once pilot marketplaces are running, WikiDeal opens to the general public through consumer apps. This phase does not require prior knowledge of cooperative economics.
 
The transition from Phase 1 to Phase 2 happens through pilot experiments in legally and practically simple domains.
 
=== Community Migration ===
 
Phase 2 is not only about new users discovering WikiDeal through apps. It also includes '''existing platforms and communities migrating to WikiDeal'''. Two types of migrations:
 
# '''Migration by conviction''' — Platforms that believe in the WikiDeal model and want to join proactively.
# '''Migration by necessity''' — Platforms that are struggling, losing users, or becoming financially unsustainable. WikiDeal gives them a second life.
 
In both cases, the migrating platform transforms itself into a '''User Group''' within the WikiDeal ecosystem, retaining its community identity while gaining access to WikiDeal's infrastructure, governance tools, and financial mechanisms.
 
== Pilot Domains — The Bridge Between Phases ==
 
Two pilot domains serve as bridges between the incubation phase and full public adoption:
 
# '''Babysitting''' — Simple legally and practically. Low barrier to entry. Demonstrates the full contract lifecycle in a familiar setting.
# '''Street Fundraising''' — Has a double utility: it validates the platform ''and'' raises funds for WikiDeal itself. Fundraisers become early ambassadors.
 
== Dogfooding — WikiDeal Funds WikiDeal ==
 
WikiDeal applies a deliberate '''dogfooding principle''': it uses its own tools to finance itself ''first'' — before proposing them to others. This is not just a philosophical stance; it is a practical commitment to credibility.
 
=== Concrete Example: Street Fundraising ===
 
Street fundraising contracts are used '''first''' to raise funds for WikiDeal itself, employing volunteer ''dialogueurs'' (street fundraisers). This serves simultaneously as:
 
# A real pilot test of the platform's contract and payment mechanics
# An actual fundraising campaign for WikiDeal
 
The fundraisers are not just test users — they become '''early ambassadors''' who understand the platform from the inside.
 
=== Beyond Street Fundraising ===
 
The same logic applies across WikiDeal's financial toolkit:
 
* The '''Bonding Curve''' and other financial instruments are tested by WikiDeal on itself before being offered to partner communities.
* WikiDeal is the '''first test subject of its own innovations''' — every tool, contract type, and governance mechanism is validated internally before scaling.
 
This approach builds trust in the most direct way possible: '''the team uses what it builds'''. When WikiDeal proposes a tool to a new community, it can say — truthfully — "we have used this ourselves."
