Those differences are central; another one is that the projects don’t have to be completed. Eventually funders may be able or willing to buy some impact equity of charity startup founders, first funding them and eventually selling their share of the impact certificate at a profit, but so long as that’s not happening yet, it seems like another difference to me.
There is also the artificial unit of the person in addition to that of the project that makes it a bit more complicated to estimate where the impact has really originated. The problem at project level persists, but the person is not relevant. Then again you could imagine charities as a whole funding their operation by selling impact certificates, so it may not be a principle difference either.
I’ve been thinking about whether there are ways to hide the estimates for a while, for example until two of them are posted, but I haven’t come up with anything that I think would work.
