== Maturity Score & Open Call Allocation ==

~~Open Call resources~~ are ~~not distributed equally across all use cases. Each WikiDeal marketplace portal carries a~~ '''~~Maturity Score~~''' ~~(1 to 5 stars)~~ based on ~~7 indicators~~: ~~number of active users~~, ~~dissatisfaction rate~~, ~~improvement proposals received, urgency of open bugs, deployment breadth, interconnection with other tools~~, and ~~usage trajectory~~.

Maturity Scores are specifically designed to evaluate the communities managing the different topics, known as '''[[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Innovations:User Groups|User Groups]]'''. Open Call resources are allocated based on these scores: the higher a User Group's Maturity Score, the fewer Open Call resources it receives, because mature communities are largely self-sustaining. Conversely, early-stage groups receive maximum Open Call attention and rewards to help them grow.

The ~~higher~~ a ~~portal~~'~~s Maturity Score, the fewer~~ Open Call ~~resources it receives~~, ~~because mature portals are largely self-sustaining~~. ~~Conversely~~, ~~early-stage portals receive maximum Open Call attention~~ and ~~rewards. This mechanism prevents resources from concentrating in already-successful use cases~~.

=== Commissions as Incubators for User Groups ===

In the WikiDeal ecosystem, Open Calls and their Commissions often act as incubators (or "antichambres") for potential future User Groups. The lifecycle naturally flows from a temporary call to a permanent community:

# '''Incubation:''' A subject begins with an Open Call, incubating a first concept.

# '''First Maturity:''' The resulting hypothesis is tested and reaches a first level of maturity.

# '''Updates & Commits:''' The community suggests improvements and updates based on the initial results.

# '''Transformation:''' As the subject requires ongoing attention, autonomy, and regular voting on updates (commits), the human Commission progressively transforms into an autonomous User Group (which may or may not adopt a formal legal structure).

Maturity scores are reviewed quarterly by the Living Lab team and displayed in each ~~use case~~'s infobox~~. Community members may challenge scores through documented counter-evidence submitted via Open Call~~.

Not all Open Calls become User Groups. For example, a Commission tasked with designing a logo might see very little activity once the logo is adopted. It would not need to become an active User Group. Conversely, a Commission establishing the rules for a complex marketplace (like transportation or babysitting) will face ongoing important questions, regular updates, and require partial autonomy. These are the commissions that mature into strong User Groups.

Maturity scores are reviewed quarterly by the Living Lab team and displayed in each User Group's infobox.
