  Ranger is the MetaDAO ecosystem's most consequential governance case study — the first
  project to face futarchy-enforced liquidation. Their pivot from perps/spot trading to
  pure vault strategy happened under futarchy oversight. Key data: $1.13M+ paid to
  depositors all-time, $17.7K weekly payouts across 9 vaults. Build-A-Bear hackathon
  offering $1M seed funding. The liquidation event ($5M USDC returned) is already
  well-documented in other archives — Ranger's own account shows the project perspective
  on being governed by markets.
extraction_hints:
  - "Ranger's strategic pivot (perps → vaults) under futarchy governance — evidence for how market oversight shapes project strategy"
  - "Vault payout data ($1.13M all-time) — concrete DeFi performance metrics"
  - "Build-A-Bear hackathon ($1M seed) — capital allocation through ecosystem development"
  - "Enrichment target: 'futarchy-governed liquidation is the enforcement mechanism' — Ranger is THE case study"
  - "Potential new claim: futarchy governance forces strategic focus by making underperformance visible and actionable"

extraction_notes: "Ranger case study confirms existing claim about futarchy-governed liquidation as enforcement mechanism. This is the first real-world enforcement event in MetaDAO, making the abstract claim concrete. Vault performance data ($1.13M all-time, $17.7K weekly) and strategic pivot under governance pressure are factual data points, not novel claims. Build-A-Bear hackathon ($1M seed) is ecosystem development activity, not relevant to existing claims."
