Fair disputes. Transparent process.

Every dispute goes through up to 4 tiers of review.
You always have the right to appeal.

The 4-tier system

Disputes escalate through increasingly thorough levels of review. Most are resolved at Tier 0.

For Patxers

You always have the right to appeal. At every tier. If the AI rules against you, appeal to a jury of your peers. If the jury ties, the case goes to the board. Your work is protected by multiple layers of independent review.

Jury duty is compensated. If you're selected as a juror, you earn €2 per case reviewed.

For Companies

Disputes under €5 with a low rating are auto-resolved with a 50% credit refund — no process needed. Larger disputes get the full 4-tier review, starting with instant AI triage. You can also appeal if you disagree with any ruling.

The philosophy

We use patxin to run patxin. The same human-in-the-loop service we sell is the one that protects you. Jury duty is a micro-task. Our own system resolves its own disputes.

Most platforms resolve disputes behind closed doors. We built a system where the community participates in the process. AI handles the obvious cases. Humans handle the rest. Transparency at every step.

FAQ

How long does the dispute process take?

Tier 0 (AI) is instant. Most disputes are resolved here. If appealed to a jury (Tier 1), it typically takes a few hours to a day for all jurors to vote. Board review (Tier 3) takes 1-3 business days.

Can I see the reasoning behind each ruling?

Yes. Every tier provides written reasoning. The AI explains its logic. Jurors write individual reasoning with their votes. Board decisions include detailed notes. Full transparency.

Are jury votes anonymous?

Yes. Jurors see the case materials but not each other's identities. The disputant patxer and company see the vote counts and reasoning, but not which juror voted which way.

What if there aren't enough jurors?

If fewer than 3 eligible jurors are available, the case automatically skips to board review (Tier 3). As the patxer community grows, this becomes increasingly rare.

Is jury duty paid?

Yes. Each juror receives €2 for reviewing a case and casting their vote. Jury duty is a regular micro-task — the same system you already use.

Who pays for the dispute process?

Nobody. The dispute process is free for both parties. Juror compensation is covered by patxin as a platform cost. We believe fair dispute resolution shouldn't have a price barrier.
