  Highest substantive ratio in the builder tier (95%). Richard is a philosophical
  contributor to the MetaDAO ecosystem — his tweets engage with mechanism design theory,
  not just product announcements. Key signal: critiques of governance token liquidity vs
  traditional equity, commentary on overraising in crypto as a mechanism design flaw,
  and evaluation of ecosystem projects (Ranger, Hurupay). This is the kind of voice
  that produces extractable claims because he argues positions rather than just
  announcing products.
extraction_hints:
  - "Critique of overraising as mechanism design flaw — potential new claim about capital formation incentive misalignment"
  - "Governance token liquidity vs equity comparison — data point for ownership coin thesis"
  - "Ecosystem project evaluations — Richard's assessments provide practitioner perspective on futarchy outcomes"
  - "Connection: his criticism of overraising maps to our 'early-conviction pricing is an unsolved mechanism design problem' claim"

extraction_notes: "Source is a meta-summary of Richard_ISC's tweet content rather than actual tweets with verifiable evidence. The curator notes describe the type of content he produces (mechanism design critiques, governance token commentary) but don't provide specific data points, quotes, or study results that can be extracted into claims. Additionally, potential claims (overraising as mechanism design flaw, governance token liquidity vs equity, ecosystem project evaluations) would duplicate existing claims in the knowledge base about capital formation incentive misalignment, ownership coin thesis, and futarchy practitioner perspectives."

## Substantive Tweets

### Mechanism Design Theory
- Strong engagement with futarchy/governance mechanism design
- Critiques overraising in crypto: mechanism design flaw where incentives reward raising maximum capital rather than optimal capital
- Commentary on governance token liquidity — liquid governance tokens create different dynamics than traditional illiquid equity
- Advocates MetaDAO model over traditional corporate structures for crypto-native organizations

### Ecosystem Project Evaluation
- Evaluates Ranger, Hurupay, and other MetaDAO ecosystem projects
- Practitioner perspective: what does futarchy governance look like from the inside?
- Assessment of which projects demonstrate genuine mechanism design alignment vs cargo-culting

### ISC (Internet Securities Commission?) Context
- Co-founder of ISC — unclear exact positioning but governance/compliance focused
- "Rational thinker" self-description matches content: measured analysis, not hype

## Noise Filtered Out
- Only 5% noise — extremely high signal account
- Almost every tweet engages substantively with a mechanism or evaluation
