This is a great article! Agree that the EA space doesn’t have well-developed models for this. The two major organizations I am founding, Better and Roote, are both highly involved in this space.
Better is working on identifying, verifying, and distributing high-impact “informational interventions” for people and organizations, which corresponds to the theory of change of your BOTEC of people having better lives and organizations having higher effectiveness if they have access to optimal information. We’re also developing knowledge management/collective intelligence software called Cosmic to help with that.
Roote is working on ideas that are related to your scalable/meta proposals. For example:
“Capable and “value-aligned” recommender systems in practically every area”—We are building Tweetscape, a general-purpose aligned recommender for Twitter
“An interested author writing a pop-science book on the topic”—We’re authoring a book on how information spreads, What Information Wants, which is related to how humans exchange information, although maybe not specifically exchange value through information
We’re working on societal information and coordination infrastructure with Civic Abundance to help groups align on the best actions to take to advance shared goals
Roote is actively hiring (and fundraising) so anyone interested is welcome to reach out!
