  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.
extraction_hints:
  - "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"
