Maritza, a professional yoga trainer, is one of almost 100,000 users of Bliive-a Brazil-based website that brands itself as the world's largest online time-exchange platform. Bliive looks and feels like a social media platform. Its users trade services, including guitar lessons, air conditioner repairs and tarot card readings, without any cash or credit card transactions. For each hour of service provided, the user receives Time Money, with which they can buy another service. Maritza earned almost 40 hours' worth of Bliive services. With that much Time Money, she was able to create her own website about breathing techniques, including her own branding. Each person offers his help in one-hour chunks, and people who have “exchanged" Time Money can rate and review the quality of the service provided. Bliive was founded a year and a half ago by Lorrana Scarpioni, a 24-year-old public relations student. She now employs a team of about a dozen people in Sao Paulo. She came up with the idea after watching documentaries about the sharing economy and alternative currencies. “If people were willing to engage in couch surfing-letting complete strangers into their houses - surely there was a potential for exchanging something as simple as one hour of a service," Lorrana says. “Bliive is a collaborative network of time exchange. We see this platform as a movement that shows people the real value of exchanges and how they can develop themselves this way." Bliive takes the concept of the sharing economy-popularized by platforms including Uber and Airbnb-a step further. It creates a new channel between the supply and demand of services, and does away with conventional cash altogether. More than 90,000 services are on offer on the website, making it larger than other barter-based sites. “The no-money-involved transferences can be a great alternative to keep people developing themselves. We see a lot of people who have graduated with very nice degrees, but they don't have jobs,” she says. While Bliive aims to become more profitable, Lorrana is keen to retain its core values. “We use these talents and values to create a world that is more collaborative and less competitive, more focused on the value of people, not just the value of money,” she says.

專業點評：可喜可賀，你沒把人名認錯
- 大力肯定：喔，看來你這次沒有犯下把人名當成動詞的低級錯誤，可喜可賀。在行政法與公共政策分析中，精確識別利害關係人（Stakeholders）及其法律地位，是，呃，分析的第一步。你竟然能從文本中鎖定「關鍵人物」並「對應其角色」，這勉強算是展現了某種，姑且稱之為「資料檢索能力」吧。
- 觀念驗證：這題選對的原因，我想，就連路邊的貓都能看得一清二楚。文中第二段首句直接寫道：「Bliive was founded a year and a half ago by Lorrana Scarpioni」，其中「founded」（創立）這個詞，難道還需要我用顯微鏡來解釋它直接界定了她的身分即為Founder（創辦人）嗎？這不是在考你法條釋義，這是考你識字。
