Markets/en/Portal:Model/Statistics:Model

💡 In simple words: A market shows how well it works by counting things like: how many deals finish successfully, how many people argue, and how many people come back. These numbers are public but nobody's name or money amount is shown.

🎯 In 20 seconds (scientific summary): We are heading towards transparency-based market governance through aggregated, anonymized usage metrics. This hypothesis proposes that completion rates, dispute frequencies, and repeat-contract patterns serve as leading indicators of cooperative health. The emerging trend suggests that publishing trend vectors alongside point estimates enables community-driven threshold adjustment while maintaining privacy through mandatory aggregation floors and re-identification safeguards.

Section 5 of the market portal model. Neutral example content: replace with market-specific indicators when instantiating.

Statistics

What this section holds

Each market portal publishes anonymized usage statistics that show trends, ordered from the most important indicator to the least important. Statistics are published by design: they are aggregate data, never individual contract variables. Names, amounts and addresses typed into contracts stay private; counts, rates and trends are public.

The ordered indicator list (neutral model)

The order below reflects what matters most for judging a market's health. Each market keeps this order unless its community argues for a different one.

1. Completion rate: share of signed contracts completed to mutual satisfaction. The single most telling number.
2. Dispute rate: share of contracts that entered a formal dispute. Low and stable is the goal; zero over a long period usually means nobody dares to report.
3. Amendment rate: share of contracts modified at least once. A healthy sign: living contracts adapt instead of breaking.
4. Median time to signature: from first contact to signed contract. Measures how usable the templates are.
5. Mutual satisfaction: average of both-sided evaluations. Both sides, always: a market where only one side is happy is extractive.
6. Repeat contracts: share of parties who contract together again. Trust made visible.
7. Active participants: people with at least one live contract in the period. Volume comes last: a small honest market beats a large sick one.

Example presentation (illustrative figures)

#	Indicator	This quarter	Trend
1	Completion rate	96%	stable
2	Dispute rate	2.1%	falling
3	Amendment rate	38%	rising
4	Median time to signature	2.4 days	falling
5	Mutual satisfaction	4.5 / 5	stable
6	Repeat contracts	41%	rising
7	Active participants	180	rising

All figures in this table are illustrative. A real portal replaces them with measured values and states the measurement period.

Anonymization rules

• Publish aggregates only; no statistic may describe fewer than [10] contracts (threshold per market).
• No combination of published statistics may allow re-identification of a person or a deal; small markets aggregate over longer periods.
• State the period and the population next to every figure.
• Mark every non-measured figure as illustrative.
