CityNudge Accelerator

1. ideas42 and city officials will jointly identify relevant domain(s) of value to the City- electricity, water or/and tax revenue

2. ideas42 staff, in close consultation with the City, will design behavioral “nudges” to achieve impact.

3. Upon meeting the desired level of impact, a predetermined portion — in the form of cost saving or revenue enhancement — would be shared with ideas42 to cover the costs incurred.

4. In the scenario of the desired impact not being met, there will be no obligation on the City to incur any cost of the intervention. The foreseeable cost would be in the form of personnel expenses of ideas42 staff and project implementation costs.

5. ideas42 will also assist the City to scale up the intervention, if desired, and to disseminate the success of the intervention to the global international community. This communication could be in the form of press releases, blogs, white paper, reports, etc.
