How each model solves the same problems
Instead of “democracy versus anarchism”, compare the concrete ways collective problems get solved.
| Question | + Model | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| How are decisions made? | Jurors are drawn in proportion to staked PNK, vote on evidence, and the majority decides; losing parties can appeal to larger juries. | Each listed body sets its own well-being objectives and steps; the Welsh Ministers publish national indicators and a future trends report after each election. | |
| How are conflicts resolved? | Online evidence submission, juror vote and multi-round appeals; the ruling is executed by smart contract.Arbitration | The Commissioner may review a body and recommend; the body must take reasonable steps to follow or publish reasons (s 22). The Auditor General examines application of the principle. | |
| How are public goods funded? | Funded by arbitration fees paid by the parties and by token incentives. | Covers the Welsh Ministers, local authorities, health boards, national park authorities and other listed bodies; public services boards plan locally. | |
| How is AI used? | Core rulings are by human jurors; Kleros reports experiments with AI participants in curation courts. | No documented AI role. | |
| What are the main risks? | Stake-weighted selection favours large holders; collusion or bribery; enforcement beyond the chain depends on state recognition. | Soft 'follow or explain' enforcement; procedural compliance; difficulty measuring long-term and preventative benefits. |
This illustrates differences in design; it is not a universal claim about outcomes. Each cell links to mechanisms and the claims behind them.
