one question i have re; futarchy is "are the most important things in the allo ecosystem measurable? and how much can these things be gamed by goodharts law?

in the [path to 10x](https://research.allo.capital/t/what-does-the-path-to-a-10x-return-look-like-for-allo-capital/72), i think the steps are

how could we point futarchy at finding the best talent? (quality is hard to quantify). that is the top of the funnel.

then after we’ve got the apps in our ecosystem… i think its pretty easy to measure the funding flowing through them. GMV = Gross Marketplace Value. perhaps that could be a futarchic market.
