+curator_notes: |
+  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.

+  - "Potential new claim: futarchy governance forces strategic focus by making underperformance visible and actionable"
