I imagine it would select in part for sales & persuasion, but not more than for other prizes (where you need to do the same for the judges). The middlemen would focus on the financial motive, so I’d expect them to be relatively sane.
I would really desire the evaluations and predictions/estimations to be really good, in order to make sure people focus on the right things.
Got it. So this would go something like:
There’s a prize!
I’m going to do X, which I think will win the prize!
Do you want to buy my rights to the prize, once I win it after doing X ?
Seems like this will select for sales & persuasion ability (which could be an important quality for successfully executing projects).
Yep.
