Cooperative Value and Incentives
Kick-Start:
Every cooperative creates value through its operations, data, and experience. CoopAI envisions turning that participation into shared prosperity — through mechanisms like the Cooperative Data Dividend, where insights and benchmarks return value to the members who generate them. But getting that formula right is critical.
Question:
How should cooperatives be rewarded when their data and insights strengthen the shared federation?

How should cooperatives be rewarded when their data and insights strengthen the shared federation?- What principles should guide data-based patronage returns?
- How do we balance fairness between large and small contributors?
- Could data contribution itself become a new form of cooperative capital?
