notes: |
  Analysis of MetaDAO's ICO launch mechanism. Identified two potential new claims:
  1. MetaDAO's 8/8 above-ICO performance as evidence for futarchy-based curation
  2. High-float launch design reducing post-launch volatility
  
  Claims not yet extracted - keeping status as processing.
  
  Five existing claims identified for potential enrichment with MetaDAO case study data.
  
  Critical gap: No failure cases documented - survivorship bias risk.
  Single-source analysis (Alea Research) - no independent verification.

key_facts:
  - MetaDAO launched 8 projects via ICO mechanism since April 2024
  - All 8 projects trading above ICO price (100% success rate)
  - ICO mechanism uses futarchy (conditional markets) for project selection
  - High-float launch model (large initial supply)
  - Analysis based on single source (Alea Research Substack)

# Alea Research: MetaDAO's Fair Launch Model Analysis

## Extraction Hints
- Focus on the 8/8 above-ICO performance claim and its connection to futarchy-based curation
- Extract the high-float launch mechanism claim with specific evidence
- Note the lack of failure case documentation when assessing confidence
- Single-source limitation should be reflected in confidence levels
