Hi Arturo. I’m not sure what you have in mind here, but it sounds like you may be missing one of the two ways of thinking about the moral parliament in this tool. First, as you seem to be suggesting, we could think of a group of people in an organization as a moral parliament. Then, our tool helps them decide how to allocate resources. Second, we could think of any single individual as composing a moral parliament, where each worldview to which you assign some credence is represented by some number of delegates (and more delegates = higher credence). Interpreted in this second way, a moral parliament isn’t a literal moral parliament but, rather, a way of modeling moral uncertainty. Does that help?
This is only necessary for funds obtained by compulsion or for large indivisible expenditures that need coordination.
For voluntary contributions, direct allocation of individual funds work as a (probably optimal!) moral parliament, doesn’t it?

Yes, absolutely. All in with portfolio theory for all aplications!
