CHF 0

raised so far (sample data)

Funding round target: CHF 1'000'000

6.4% of the round · subscription token algorithm from ×100 down to the ×30 floor, distributing 50 million subscription tokens by a mathematical formula (subject to validation)^[1] · the initial requirement starts at CHF 100'000, so the need stays at full for a long time

Foundation need^[7]

red = full need (100%) · green = partly need (below 100%)

full need · 100% · full multiplier applies functioning variable: CHF 10'000/month · set at launch, adjustable

partly need (down to 30%)full need (100%)

Initial requirement	CHF 100'000 for the first month · every further month adds the CHF 10'000 functioning variable · month 2: CHF 110'000 minus everything already subscribed
Outstanding requirement (today)	CHF 35'750
Formula	outstanding requirement = CHF 100'000 + CHF 10'000 × (months - 1) - cumulative subscriptions · sample: month 1, CHF 100'000 - CHF 0 subscribed = CHF 35'750 · never shown below CHF 0
Rule	the Foundation need stays at full need (100%) as long as the outstanding requirement is not covered · the pace of subscriptions is what brings it down

Foundation margin, allocated to the provision

no margin yet: month 1, the outstanding requirement is not covered, the need is at full need and the full multiplier applies · the margin builds when the Foundation need goes below 100% (partly need) and feeds the foundation provision^[2]

Foundation provision

CHF 0

0 of the 3 months provision target (3 × CHF 10'000/month) · builds up once the outstanding requirement is covered · funds maintenance and development · not a subscription token · the provision drives the Foundation need^[6]

Foundation need mechanism	fully automatic · needs defined by the steering committee
Subscription Token algorithm	starts at ×100, ends at ×30 and distributes 50 million subscription tokens according to a mathematical formula · the ×30 floor comes from this curve (subject to validation)^[1]
Monthly functioning cost	CHF 10'000/month · the functioning variable, set at launch, adjustable · shown inside the need gauge above
Outstanding requirement	CHF 35'750 today · not yet covered · initial requirement CHF 100'000, minus CHF 0 already subscribed (sample, month 1)
Foundation provision	CHF 0 = 0 of the 3 months target (3 × CHF 10'000)
Foundation need^[7]	full need: 100% (month 1) · the need stays at full need as long as the outstanding requirement is not covered: the initial requirement starts at CHF 100'000, so the need stays at full for a long time, and the pace of subscriptions is what brings it down · below 100% it is called partly need · once the requirement is covered, the need descends as the provision fills, down to the ×30 floor at 3 months of provision · proposed formula, to be validated
Effective multiplier	today: ×100 × full need 100% = ×100 · never below ×30
Split of incoming money	half to the monthly functioning costs · half to the initial requirement
Model	Subscription Tokens funded by WikiDeal subscriptions (CHF 1/month or CHF 10/year) · 25% to donators, 25% to early supporters (one single type of Subscription Token)

Figure 1 · How the Foundation need works: effective multiplier vs foundation provision^[7]

Proposed formula, to be validated: Foundation need = 100% - 70% × (months of provision covered ÷ 3), effective multiplier = subscription token algorithm multiplier × Foundation need. The descent only starts once the outstanding requirement is covered. The initial requirement starts at CHF 100'000 and grows by CHF 10'000 each month, so the need stays at full for a long time; the pace of subscriptions is what brings it down. At 3 months of provision the Foundation need is 30% and the multiplier is at the ×30 floor, never below. The provision is the last figure of the system: it drives the Foundation need.

2. Subscribe and get subscription tokens (donor view, signed in)

My subscriptions so far

14 May 2026	CHF 300	×100
21 June 2026	CHF 200	×100
Total subscribed	CHF 500

If I subscribe again (simulator)^[3]
Subscription	Effective multiplier^[7]	Potential Subscription Token NOT GUARANTEED
CHF 100	×100 (full need)	CHF 10'000
CHF 250	×100 (full need)	CHF 25'000
CHF 500	×100 (full need)	CHF 50'000
CHF 1'000	×100 (full need)	CHF 100'000
CHF 5'000	×100 (full need)	CHF 500'000
CHF 10'000	×100 (full need)	CHF 1'000'000

The need is at full need (100%): your subscription today gets the full ×100 multiplier of the subscription token algorithm. The initial requirement starts at CHF 100'000, so the need stays at full for a long time; the pace of subscriptions is what brings it down. Later, once the requirement is covered and the provision builds, the Foundation need descends (partly need) and the effective multiplier follows (see the examples below). When you subscribe, everything is visible at once: multiplier, Foundation need, effective multiplier, your potential subscription token, and the margin allocated to the foundation provision (to be confirmed). The subscription token is a potential ceiling, paid only from real subscription income, with no guarantee.

When you subscribe: your subscription token appears, then your choice (sample)^[8]
Sample subscription of CHF 1'000 at ×100: your potential subscription token of CHF 100'000 appears, then the question: "What percentage do you want to give to the foundation?" Free choice from 0% to 100% (0% is allowed).
Preset "cashback"	×1: you get back just the amount you subscribed (CHF 1'000), the rest goes to the foundation
Preset "full subscription"	100% to the foundation, you keep CHF 0
Free choice	any percentage from 0% to 100%, e.g. 25% to the foundation: CHF 25'000 to the foundation, CHF 75'000 kept as potential subscription token

Later in the round: sample CHF 1'000 subscriptions at lower levels of the Foundation need
Foundation need	Effective multiplier	Potential Subscription Token NOT GUARANTEED
full need: 100% (today: month 1)	×100	CHF 100'000
partly need: 80%	×80	CHF 80'000
partly need: 60%	×60	CHF 60'000
partly need: 30%	×30 (floor)	CHF 30'000

The initial requirement starts at CHF 100'000, so the need stays at full for a long time. These examples show later stages, once the outstanding requirement is covered and the provision fills.

4. How payments flow

[You] --credit card--> [Stripe] --confirmed--> [WI-SUP (Wikideal Support) account] | holding period (illustrative: 7 days) v [WI-SUP (Wikideal Support) confirms the payment] | v [Your Subscription Token is ACTIVATED] then becomes progressively "transferable to your bank account" as subscription income arrives

Subscription Token algorithm: fixed algorithm. It starts at ×100, ends at ×30 and distributes 50 million subscription tokens according to a mathematical formula (sample description, subject to validation). The ×30 floor comes from this curve.
Foundation margin: when the Foundation need is below 100%, the difference between what the subscription token algorithm promises and the subscription token actually attributed stays with the foundation and is allocated to the foundation provision. This margin grows over time.
Simulator amounts are sample data. The subscription token is a potential ceiling, never a guaranteed payment.
A subscription token is never activated automatically on Stripe reception. It is activated by the WI-SUP (Wikideal Support) after the holding period.
Illustrative split: CHF 1.00 of each CHF 10/year subscription feeds subscription token holders (exact share to be confirmed).
Foundation provision: the total sum attributed to the foundation as a provision, not as subscription tokens, to fund the maintenance and development of WikiDeal.
Foundation need: the second curve of the system, shown as the gauge. Effective multiplier = multiplier × Foundation need. At 100% it is called full need, below 100% partly need. The need stays at full need as long as the outstanding requirement is not covered: outstanding requirement = CHF 100'000 (initial requirement) + CHF 10'000 × (months - 1) - cumulative subscriptions, never shown below CHF 0. The functioning variable (CHF 10'000/month) is set at launch and adjustable. Once the requirement is covered, the Foundation need descends fast below 100% (for example ×90 then ×80 for money nominally at ×100) as the foundation provision fills. When the provision reaches 3 months of functioning cost, the Foundation need is 30% and the multiplier is at the ×30 floor. Proposed formula, to be validated: Foundation need = 100% - 70% × (months of provision covered ÷ 3), effective multiplier = subscription token algorithm multiplier × Foundation need, never below ×30. Half of the incoming money goes to the monthly functioning costs, half to the initial requirement. All values are sample data.
When you subscribe, your potential subscription token appears first, then you choose what percentage of it you give to the foundation, from 0% to 100% (0% is allowed). Two presets: "cashback" (you keep just the amount you subscribed, ×1) and "full subscription" (100% to the foundation). Sample data.
