Unlike a call with a single selection round, this call remains open and rolling. Models are accepted, reviewed and ranked continuously, and reward tranches are released progressively as the collection and its funding grow. | Unlike a call with a single selection round, this call remains open and rolling.

== State of the art == | |||
Helping people contest fines, invoices and administrative decisions is not a new field. A rich ecosystem of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consumer_organization consumer organizations], public agencies and legal-tech services already provides template letters and guidance, and they do valuable work. What is proposed here goes in the same direction as this existing movement: WikiDeal would reinforce and complement these resources, not compete with them (see also the [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Open-Calls:Successful-Appeals#partnerships|partnerships]] section). | |||
Across jurisdictions, the underlying principles of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consumer_protection consumer protection] appeals are similar: provide evidence, and respect the deadlines. In Switzerland, an opposition ("Einsprache") is in principle filed within 30 days. In France, the contestation of a fixed fine is governed by articles 529-2 and 530 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. | |||
=== Switzerland === | |||
* [https://www.frc.ch/association/ressources-disposition/lettres-modeles FRC, Fédération romande des consommateurs]: model letters reserved for members, covering insurance, air transport, debt collection and enforcement proceedings, tenancy, and more. | |||
* Recent AI-assisted tools for contesting fines (parking, SBB/CFF, traffic): [https://nofineai.ch NoFineAI] and [https://www.nextletter.ch NextLetter]. | |||
=== France === | |||
* [https://www.antai.gouv.fr ANTAI], the official national agency for automated offence processing, with its portal for designation and contestation of fines. | |||
* Motorist associations such as 40 Millions d'automobilistes, and many free template sites covering taxes, social benefits (CAF), fines, tenancy and insurance disputes. | |||
* Legal letter generators such as [https://www.wonder.legal/fr/modele/contestation-amende Wonder.legal] and [https://www.genieai.co GenieAI]. | |||
=== United States === | |||
* A well-established "fight your ticket" movement, with state-by-state templates (GenieAI, for instance, covers all 50 states). | |||
* Numerous legal aid organizations and university law clinics that assist people with appeals and administrative disputes. | |||
=== What WikiDeal adds === | |||
Most existing resources offer generic templates, without documented proof that a given letter actually succeeded, and without any ranking by usefulness or success rate. What is envisaged with this open call is a reinforcement of the existing landscape: a shared library of appeal letters that are proven (each accompanied by evidence of the favourable outcome), anonymized, and classified by usefulness and by exception, made available to subscribers together with AI-assisted search. Partnerships with the organizations mentioned above are proposed as a natural basis for this effort, so that their long-standing expertise and WikiDeal's evidence-based, mutualized approach can strengthen each other. | |||
