New article examines the business case for proposed contributor rewards
A new opinion article explains how proposed contributor payments could reduce useful-data costs and support customer growth. The project remains at the specification stage.
Contributor relationships
The article argues that proposed payments could support continuing access, corrections and targeted contributions. It treats lower costs and customer growth as possibilities to test.
Illustrative costs
A hypothetical comparison raises annual procurement spending from $600,000 to $650,000 while doubling accepted examples. Cost per accepted example falls from $60.00 to $32.50 under illustrative assumptions. These figures do not establish actual savings.
Proposed reward terms
The article proposes agreeing earning rules before use and keeping permission, credit and payment distinct. It proposes rewards without subscription purchases or requirements to spend earnings on the platform.
Proposed evaluation
The article proposes comparing a paid program with existing lawful sourcing in one domain over the same period. The comparison would count contributor fees, staff time, rejected submissions, review and administration.
Documentation listing
The README now lists the article alongside its other documentation.
