brief
Our disputes are criterion-scoped and fee-backed: a settlement window, then a random community panel voting sealed, then an appeal to a final platform ruling (fees refund only if the outcome changes). Compare this with the dispute mechanisms of ten platforms that mediate work or bounties (marketplaces, bug-bounty programs, crowdsourcing platforms, DAO grant systems, escrow services).
For each: who decides, timelines, fees and who bears them, evidence rules, appeal path, finality, and any published outcome statistics. Then an assessment of our model: where it is stronger, where it is exposed (collusion, panel apathy, fee asymmetry), and three concrete improvements with the platform precedent for each.
