Both charters say the rules may be revised on the basis of bilans after each edition, and they have changed almost every year, mostly through the executive's comité de pilotage rather than the council: 2016 added the 30 million euro reservation for quartiers populaires and the schools PB; 2017 and 2018 excluded cycling lanes, big squares and heavy public-space works; 2021 brought majority judgment, a 2 million euro cap, two to five winners per arrondissement and the hand-over of heavy works to Embellir votre quartier; the 2023 charter opened deposits year round, moved to per-arrondissement envelopes weighted by population and quartiers populaires, set the floor at 25% and made the commissions public. Several of these trace to findings: the Inspection générale, the Commission parisienne du débat public and at least one arrondissement mayor had raised the idea of a vote against or a majority vote before majority judgment was adopted; the audit's warnings about workload and the one-month, digital-only deposit window precede the 2 million cap, the smaller number of winners and the year-round deposit; the 2021-2022 consultation found 73% of respondents approving majority judgment and 75% the securing of the online vote, and its complaints about excessive groupings and the wish to be involved during studies shaped the 2023 text. The audit itself, requested by the Groupe Écologiste and commissioned by the Mayor in November 2018, concluded that the City had never instituted an evaluation system, recommended that Parisians be associated with rule-making and with a participatory evaluation, and that socio-demographic data on participants be collected; the DDCT answered that such data had not been collected for data-protection reasons, and a 2018 council vœu asking for a diagnostic by socio-professional category went unmet. The annual rhythm was questioned by six departments, seven borough halls and the Commission du débat public, which suggested one edition every two years; the City kept the yearly cycle, skipping only 2020.
