+  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.

+  - "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"
