Being entirely led by non-profit organisations as an ongoing project for about an entire year, this project didn't involve any public budgets. Volunteers and employees from Transparence International France and Regards Citoyens worked intermittently for a possible total of about 500 individual hours considering meetings, developing, analysing the data, qualifying it and redacting the report. The use of crowdsourcing represented a significant reduction in time since more than 3.000 people performed a total of 50.000 10-to-60-seconds operations.
