Win-Win Synthesis — Unified Call for Proposals

One for all, all for one — Town twinning & Batmed Hub to prepare the future with confidence

Safeguarding Switzerland — its history, laws and values — grows from local and international cooperation. Batmed offers a framework to co-design a local hub and twin our communes with value-aligned partners: learn, pilot small, measure, and improve together.

Shared objectives

  • Build together a Batmed hub (commune/district) with officials, residents, Pro Senectute, EMS/Spitex, notaries, funeral homes, local businesses and associations.
  • Equip families: local pages in 4 languages, right-time checklists, a guidance desk (40+ categories), neutral quote requests (insurance 5.x).
  • Prevent: the “72-hour” pathway, advance directives & powers of attorney, home adaptation, carer relief — for more clarity and fewer errors.
  • Measure & improve (DMAIC): grow a culture of local responsiveness, first-time-right and listening.
  • Preserve human capital, rights & values: AI serves people (explainable, proportionate); freedom of choice; subsidiarity.

Lean Six Sigma (DMAIC)

  • Define: map life stages (birth→end-of-life); set 3 reference points (responsiveness, first-time-right, satisfaction).
  • Measure: current lead times, re-entries, local basket (cost of living).
  • Analyze: waste, root causes, rural/urban specifics.
  • Improve: “72 h”, right-time checklists, simpler forms.
  • Control: non-identifying dashboards, regular public briefings.
QualityPrevention

Budgets, prices & inflation

  • Prudent scenarios (multiple bands), rolling 12-month budget.
  • Zero-based for non-essential lines; targeted indexation (energy/healthcare).
  • Group purchasing, adjustment clauses; short, reversible contracts.
  • Track: basic basket, housing effort, disposable remainder.
TransparencyPrudence

Preparing children & the next generation

  • Life-cycle budget (childcare, health, mobility, languages, activities).
  • Local safety nets: grants/gear, second-hand, micro-respite for carers.
  • Financial education: goals, envelope budgeting, informed trade-offs.
  • Innovation without debt: voluntary micro-savings, no consumer credit.

Financial model (examples to co-define)

  • Hub setup + annual subscription (support, hosting in CH, content, dashboard).
  • Cohort discount with citizen mobilisation before launch:
    • ≥ 25 households: −10% · ≥ 50: −15% · ≥ 100: −20% · ≥ 200: −25% (cap).
  • Variants: −5% municipal room · −5% association-run drop-ins · −5% impact bonus (agreed reference points reached).

Clear costs, exit clauses, shared decisions.

Evaluation criteria

  • Prevention & social utility
  • Local capacity & governance
  • Quality approach (DMAIC)
  • Ethics & data
  • Economy & mobilisation

“Human capital, rights & values” charter

  • Dignity & self-determination; freedom of choice; neutrality.
  • Subsidiarity; access to justice; 4 national languages + EN.
  • Intergenerational transmission (memory & life books).
  • Swiss values: federalism, direct democracy, solidarity.

AI & data (guardrails)

  • Privacy by design: default without personally identifying data; granular consent when needed.
  • Swiss hosting; access logs; periodic audits.
  • AI explainable & proportionate: AI organises/alerts; humans decide.
  • Coordinated escalations to APEA/KESB when appropriate.
Anticipate: carer burnout, loss of rights, missed deadlines. Responses: right-time checklists, clear escalation, non-identifying incident log.
