Futarchy by definition is a system for group decision making. That means that you can’t use it for decisions that involve one person.
Fortunately, there are a lot of groups that need governance that are bigger then one person and at the same time smaller then nation-states.
I generally think that student-self governance would be the ideal enviroment to try out new ways of governance but when it comes to Futarchy, an EA charity that’s governed by it might be a good project.

Why can’t an individual be the trivial group?
Like, it seems like I could set my lunch orders by having a prediction market on how I would rate lunches conditional on ordering them, ordering the item with the highest predicted rating, and then rating it afterwards. The main challenge is populating the prediction market with actors who expect the profit to be high enough to be worth the cognitive work, but that’s only indirectly related.

The decision making could be an individual but the information gathering needs multiple people.
I don’t expect there to be a good market for precictions of lunch rating especially since there’s one person who can easily make winning predictions.
Well, can you maybe simulate that with Internal Family Systems?
