Futarchy governance quality degrades on low-salience operational decisions because thin markets lack trader participation

MetaDAO's futarchy implementation shows a critical weakness: governance markets routinely see low volume when decisions aren't controversial. A small group of sophisticated traders dominates these thin markets. This creates a paradox where governance quality degrades on exactly the boring operational decisions that matter most for long-term treasury management—budget allocations, routine treasury operations, administrative appointments. The mechanism is theoretically sound but practically fragile when trader attention is elsewhere. If the trader base doesn't grow beyond the current sophisticated core, futarchy risks becoming excellent at high-stakes controversial decisions while failing at the operational governance that determines day-to-day organizational health. This is distinct from the general liquidity problem—it's specifically about attention allocation across decision types.
