+# Epic Finance
+
+Epic Finance was a futarchy-governed token launch on Futardio that failed to achieve its funding target. The project raised only $2 against a $50,000 goal before entering refunding status within 24 hours. The team description consisted of placeholder text ("We Mark Down / The markdown. I need some help with AI."), suggesting the launch was either a test or an unserious attempt.

 extraction_notes: "This is a failed futarchy launch data point with no substantive content. The team description ('We Mark Down / The markdown. I need some help with AI.') is placeholder text. The launch raised only $2 against a $50k target and immediately went to refunding status. This is pure factual data about a failed launch event with no arguable claims, novel mechanisms, or insights about futarchy performance. The existing claim 'futarchy-governed-meme-coins-attract-speculative-capital-at-scale.md' already covers successful launches like CULT ($11.4M). This failed launch is a data point that could eventually enrich analysis of futarchy launch success rates, but alone provides no extractable claim. Preserved as archive reference for future meta-analysis of futarchy launch outcomes."

+extraction_notes: "Failed futarchy launch with no extractable claims. The launch raised trivial capital ($2 vs $50K target) and had placeholder team description, indicating either a test or unserious attempt. Created entity page to document the failure as a data point for future meta-analysis of futarchy launch outcomes. No novel mechanism insights, no arguable propositions. The existing claim 'futarchy-governed-meme-coins-attract-speculative-capital-at-scale.md' already covers successful launches; this is a counterexample data point but not sufficient alone to challenge that claim or create a new one about failure rates."
