Legal tech platforms such as Win-Win need to do some research to localize their products according to other countries' laws and culture.
Outreach universities, legal bodies and local governments in Japan to expand and localize Win-Win services.
This is the total amount allocated to Win-Win Japan Expansion.
Win-Win Dispute Resolution (mediators.ai)
Mediators.ai (previously known as Win-Win) is a decentralized dispute resolution platform and marketplace built on the Cardano blockchain. It allows disputing parties to find a suitable mediator to help resolve their conflict in a timely and cost-effective manner outside the court system. The marketplace enables mediators to focus on the mediation process without having to engage in often questionable business boosting practices.
Developed by Loxe Inc., a US based company, mediator.ai is initially focusing on the US market, as most of the team is based there and understand the mediation process for that country. However, our roadmap includes expanding our services to all continents.
As a platform working on the legal sector, we need to understand the specificities and particularities of each country we aim at expanding to, therefore some market and law research is required. We have already started our expansion to Latam with a previously funded proposal (https://cardano.ideascale.com/c/idea/384838). The goal of the current proposal is to fund the expansion of Win-Win to Japan. To achieve that, we will partner up with a local mediator which will support our research and expansion within the country.
We are proposing to localize and create partnerships between our project, a Cardano based solution, and local institutions. At the same time, we are going to provide our solution to the local population.
We are addressing the challenge since, according to the challenge brief, the goal is to fund and build real-world projects that will impact the country.
We are contributing to the following challenge’s KPI: Number of Indian focused dapps/services actually built.
The main challenges of this proposal would be connecting to a local mediator in India, and possibly facing some cultural barriers to Alternative Dispute Resolution in general. Nevertheless, since this is partially a market research proposal, the latter would still be a valuable outcome of this proposal.

Budget
This proposal is going to be executed by Loxe Inc.’s team. The full team can be seen at https://loxeinc.com. The leadership team responsible for this project is:
Matthias Sieber
Eli Selkin, L.C.S.W., M.S
Victor Corcino

Internally, we will use the Agile methodology to manage and keep track of our progress on this project’s development.
Externally, for audit purposes, we will track the progress according to the delivery of the milestones presented in the roadmap included in the feasibility section of this proposal. This progress report will be done through the monthly meetings with the challenge team and coordinator meetings with the IOG team.
For this project, we would consider success if we are able to understand Japan's cultural nuances related to mediation and Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) in general, and if we are able to create partnerships with some institutions and onboard Japanese ADR professionals into our ecosystem.
Success metrics
This proposal is an expansion of a previously funded proposal: https://cardano.ideascale.com/a/dtd/368353-48088
We have submitted a similar proposal that got funded previously, but focusing in Latin America, not in South Africa. For this country, this is the first time we are submitting it.
