Most crowdsourcing platform implementation projects fail. To succeed, therefore, requires understanding of the importance of crowdsourcing platform as a strategic tool and the need for its continuous review throughout development and implementation phases. One of the critical success factors is the design of a robust revenue-generating infrastructure powered by a secure user and customer authenticated e-commerce engine. A crowdsourcing platform development is an investment at risk. The cost of development increases with each development phase. The investment should be reviewed at each key checkpoint in development and should be justified based on the data available.

When a crime happens in your community or home town it is easy to get caught up in all of the allegations floating around.

Of the projects where there is no agreement, the crowd is much more likely to have funded a project that the judge did not like than the reverse. Approximately 75% of the projects where there is a disagreement are ones where the crowd funded a project but the expert would not have funded it. We also see a clear pattern in terms of the characteristics of projects that are liked

However, care must be taken to ensure that not only are the results are accurate and not tainted by some form of manipulation, but also that the information gathered is actually something that is used. In the first case, data manipulation could cause a company to provide something that doesn’t sell, and leave them with
