Beta tester
Recognises actual participation in testing an identified product. Downloading an app or applying does not earn the badge. Criteria and procedures will be stated when the relevant programme opens.
Participating in SCA
The project grows through people who put it to the test.
The first contribution I am looking for is attention.
Read the vision, reflect on its choices, try what is available and describe what works and what needs to improve. You do not need to agree with everything: a practical difficulty, a precise report or a different point of view can help build better products.
Where to start
You can read the manifesto, use Smart Control if it is compatible with your vehicle and send me your observations. For a technical report, the app version, adapter model, observed behaviour and steps to reproduce it are useful. Avoid unnecessary personal or journey data.
Recognising real contributions
Over time, participation paths will take shape for people who want to contribute testing, observations, expertise or work on specific problems. Recognition is planned for the role actually performed, with criteria to be defined progressively. It is not required to use the app and cannot be purchased.
Contributor
Recognises an identifiable, useful contribution: reports, checks of real cases, documentation, expertise or development collaboration. It does not require a positive review, a purchase or advertising the project.
Collaboration on new initiatives
Some new ideas in specific areas may lead to founding collaborations. Recognition as “Co-founder · Name of the new initiative” will refer exclusively to an agreed role in creating that particular initiative: not the SCA platform or the original Smart Control product.
This is a separate path, not a level unlocked through tests, seniority or purchases. Any concrete collaboration will require specific agreements.
Freedom to participate
A person’s name and contribution will be published only with their explicit choice. Public identification is not required to report an issue. Programmes and recognition are being defined: this page does not open beta registration or automatically award badges.
