Define a New Model

Defining something new in Lexipedia means adding a process, a case, or a general improvement to the wiki itself — backed by the same structured data (the Struct plugin) that powers every model's Quick Facts table. Pick one of the three paths below.

A process model documents a step-by-step legal or civic procedure (e.g. starting a business, filing a permit) as a BPMN diagram plus structured metadata. Fill out the form below to generate a starter page in the right place, then build out the full Sample Entry structure and BPMN diagram.

Create process page

Prefer to build it by hand instead? Copy the Sample Entry template directly, or read the Quick Start Guide for a full walkthrough of BPMN and DMN.

Cases document a specific dispute, ruling, or arbitration — see Próspera ZEDE Arbitration for an example. Use the form below to start a new case page with the standard case fields.

Not creating a new model? There's plenty of bureaucracy to help with too:

• Request Models — see what's already been asked for, or add your own request
• Community Guidelines — how we collaborate (help expand this page!)
• Topic Hierarchy — help keep the topic taxonomy organized
• Categories and Jurisdictions — keep model listings accurate
• Recent Changes — find pages that need review or cleanup
• Quick Start Guide — editing basics, BPMN/DMN primers, and page structure

Every process and case page is backed by a Struct schema (process, case, or law) that defines the structured fields shown in each page's Quick Facts table. The forms above fill those schemas in for you automatically as the page is created.
