Crowdsourcing is a human-made organizational method: the practice of obtaining services, ideas, or content by soliciting contributions from a large group of people — typically via the internet — rather than from traditional employees or suppliers. It carves a procurement-and-innovation model that scales participation across open networks. The mechanism of persistence is the digital platform infrastructure and the incentive structures (monetary, reputational, or altruistic) that sustain contributor engagement over time. [formal: crowd-sourcing | substrate: behavior | horizon: hours | explicit: yes | epoch: 1.00]
