Priority Correction Fund

Redirect a fixed share of recent money toward the most compelling current priority.

Moral Trade calculates this fund as 10% of each member's recent donations plus 10% of each member's recent payments to other members. Each month then moves through a published two-stage reasoning process: first within cause areas, then across cause areas.

Create accountRead methodology

Monthly sequence

01
Publish the month

The fund is computed from the previous calendar month and published with any carryover.

02
Cause-specific action review

Five cause-specific arbiters can publish a combination only after at least three agree.

03
Community-wide allocation

Seven cycle-wide arbiters decide how much of the month's fund should go to each cause area.

Process record

Monthly cycles publish the calculation and the selection rule

The mechanism is not a hidden recommendation feed. A published cycle records the previous-month money base, any carryover, assigned arbiters, selection pools, support counts, reasoning, and dissent notes.

Fund calculation

The monthly base is 10% of verified donations plus 10% of verified member-to-member payments recorded for the previous month, then adjusted for any published carryover.

Specific-action arbiters

Each cause area can receive up to five randomly selected arbiters from members in the top 10% of karma for that cycle, excluding members who recently served.

Community-wide arbiters

Seven cycle-wide arbiters are selected from high-karma members with diverse cause priorities. Their allocation reasoning is recorded before a cycle is finalized.

Current month

Fund overview

The current cycle uses the previous month's donations and member-to-member payments, then publishes reasonings and dissent under fixed UTC deadlines.

No cycle has been published yet.

Once a month is published, this page will show the fund, arbiters, and reasonings.

Stage one

Specific-action combinations inside each cause area

Five randomly selected arbiters from the top 10% of community karma, among members currently prioritizing the cause area, can publish a cause-specific combination once at least three agree.

Stage two

Community-wide cause-area allocation

Seven cycle-wide arbiters review the published cause-specific combinations and decide what fraction of the month's fund should go to each cause area.

No community-wide allocation reasoning has been published for this cycle yet.

Moral Trade

A pilot institution for cooperation under disagreement.
