in this catalogue (246 scored practices)
Scores cluster high, so position within the catalogue is often more telling than the number alone.
Scalability beyond pilot2/3
Join reached over 10 million unique visitors nationally, a genuine national scale, though vTaiwan itself scaled down to a volunteer-only effort with reduced government engagement.
Governance, capability & sustainability1/3
Documented as lacking a legal mandate for government to act on outcomes, which multiple sources identify as the central reason legislators stopped taking it seriously after 2018.
Evidence of impact / measured public value2/3
Strong quantitative participation and outcome data exist (13,853 proposals, 289 over threshold, 10M+ visitors, the 2017 menstrual-cup legal change), but the same sources document no major decision driven by vTaiwan since 2018.
Transparency, fairness & accountability3/3
Pol.is deliberation data and clustering visualizations are published openly, and the Join threshold-and-response process is publicly documented end-to-end.
Transferability / demonstrated replication3/3
Extensively studied and cited as a model internationally (Participedia, Bertelsmann Stiftung, Harvard case studies), with the Pol.is methodology reused by multiple other jurisdictions.
