## Summary

Futardio's unfunded MetaDAO proposal for developing multi-option futarchy functionality. The proposal outlined technical architecture for conditional vaults supporting N-way choices and made several claims about decision bandwidth, security, and governance benefits. The proposal was never funded or implemented.

## Key Claims Extracted

1. **Decision bandwidth**: Multi-option proposals increase governance throughput by enabling parallel evaluation (note: original claimed "exponential" increase, but actual scaling is linear/polynomial)
2. **Security**: Developer assertion that multi-modal vaults would not introduce new security risks (unaudited, contradicts standard security practice)
3. **Pork-barrel reduction**: Theoretical claim that draft stages with competing alternatives could reduce wasteful spending

## Context

- Proposal date: 2024-02-20
- Status: Unfunded/not implemented
- Platform: MetaDAO forum
- All claims remain theoretical and unvalidated
