I like the idea of trying to be more granular with evaluation, though I don’t like the idea of making judges do a lot more work. Right now, I’d estimate that the value of the time it takes for judges to vote + CEA to administrate the prize is more than half the cost of the prize itself.
I could see something like “divide up winnings by number of votes”, since we have approval voting already, though that won’t track impact very precisely (a post with one vote is probably less than 1⁄6 as “valuable” as a post that gets a unanimous vote from all 6 judges). I’ll keep thinking about different systems, though I think the current amounts will be kept stable for at least another few months.
