It seems likely that the optimal solution would, perhaps strongly, depend on details that are not given in your post. The composition and size of the group spring to mind, but there are other factors as well. Is there any specific type of group that you’re thinking of, or do you think that there is a one size fits all solution? The latter seems unlikely unless you are thinking of a meta-strategy for choosing between decision making processes rather than a decision making process.

I am thinking of, basically, a one size fits all solution. Obviously its implementation will vary greatly depending on the size, composition, and charter of the group. It could also be thought of as a meta-strategy.
Hmm, a mathematical framework then. (I doubt something like this would have a good solution that could be concisely expressed in words alone.)
Is it a voting system with some kind of safeguards against double-counting? As in, a single entity voting an infinite number of times for a particular option doesn’t shift the outcome toward that option?
But no… you’d only come up with that if you were trying to optimise for anonymity.
I’m reasonably sure it’s a mathematical framework, though.
He says ‘answers like “iterated runoff voting,” … are not in themselves what I’m looking for’, so I think a voting system is not what he’s thinking about.

If it’s not a prediction market, I have no idea what he might have in mind. Any idea if HonoreDB’s an amateur mathematician?
It’s not a prediction market, although that was the first idea I remember having when I was trying to work this out.
I do do math.
