Meritocratic voting handles daily operational decisions where speed and broad participation matter and manipulation risk is low. Prediction markets aggregate distributed knowledge for medium-stakes decisions where probabilistic estimates are valuable. Futarchy provides maximum manipulation resistance for critical decisions where the consequences of corruption are severe. Since [[futarchy is manipulation-resistant because attack attempts create profitable opportunities for defenders]], reserving it for high-stakes decisions concentrates its protective power where it matters most. -The interaction between mechanisms creates its own value. Each mechanism generates different data: voting reveals community preferences, prediction markets surface distributed knowledge, futarchy stress-tests decisions through market forces. Organizations can compare outcomes across mechanisms and continuously refine which tool to deploy when. This creates a positive feedback loop of governance learning.

This expansive reading, if upheld, would clearly encompass futarchy governance proposals. **What I expected but didn't find:** Analysis of how this specifically applies to non-sports prediction markets like futarchy governance markets.
