Description

Mechanics of Codex contract initiation.

Justification

As part of Codex Technical Milestones #3 ("Marketplace Interactions").

Deliverables

• Modeling and Simulations of the Client behavior
• One section of the Codex Litepaper "Modeling" chapter (the milestones contract-matching, contract-defaults, contract-finalization, proof-aggregators, recovery-auction, slot-repair, and tax-system cover the remaining parts of this chapter).

Tracking Metrics

• Timely delivery of the report
• Agreement with Codex team and stakeholders

Work breakdown

• Definition of default settings
• Facilitate the matching of pricing and collateral size
• Analysis of client payment (full vs. partial upfront)
• Analysis of potential gamifications and penalties

### Perceived Risks Technical and legal constraints.
