+# MetaDAO: Should MetaDAO Create Futardio?
+
+## Summary
+A minimal one-sentence proposal: "Futardio is a great idea and needs to happen." Filed under the "Program" category. Failed within 4 days. No budget, no specification, no implementation plan. The proposer identity is not associated with core team members.
+
+## Market Data
+- **Outcome:** Failed (2024-11-25)
+- **Autocrat version:** 0.3
+- **Key participants:** Unknown proposer
+
+## Significance
+This failed proposal is more informative than many that passed. It demonstrates futarchy's quality filtering function — the market rejected an unsubstantiated proposal despite the concept (Futardio/permissionless launchpad) eventually being approved three months later with proper specification (see [[metadao-release-launchpad]]). The market distinguished between "good idea" and "well-specified proposal," rejecting the former and approving the latter.
+
+This is concrete evidence against the criticism that futarchy markets are easily manipulated or that token holders vote based on vibes rather than substance. The failure also shows that non-founder community members can propose, even if their proposals face higher scrutiny.
+
+Note: The later "Release a Launchpad" proposal (2025-02-26) by Proph3t and Kollan succeeded — same concept, dramatically better specification.
