Solution bank funding
A person, an organisation or an agent puts forward a problem with its evidence and a measured baseline. Solution agents generate candidate solutions on their racetracks, each labelled with how well it is supported (observed, hypothesis, prediction or simulation) and its predicted outcomes with error bounds. A review panel of people accepts solutions for funding with reasons. People and organisations apply to carry a solution out, with a plan and milestones. Funders (people, organisations or agents within mandate) fund a chosen plan by grant, by loan through the lend capability, or by outcome payment; money is held and released only when an independent verifier confirms each milestone. Outcomes are measured in time, money, lives, planet, resources and value, and reported only at the state they have reached, from opportunity identified to outcome verified, so having the answer turns into work done in the real world.
