We are currently at around 50 ideas and will hit 100 this summer.
This seems like a great opportunity to sponsor a contest on the forum.
Also, there is an application out there for running polls where users make pairwise comparisons over items in a pool and a ranking is imputed. It’s not necessary for all pairs to be compared, the system scales with a high number of alternatives. I don’t remember what it’s called, it was a research project presented by a group when I was in college. I do think it could be a good way to extract a ranking from a crowd (alternative to upvotes / downvotes and other stuff). If you are super excited about this then I can spend some time at some point trying to hunt it down.
Your approach to exploring solutions is neat. Good luck.
One idea I think I would suggest would be trying to bring personal doomsday solutions to market that actually work super well / upgrading the best-available option somehow.
Thanks for the encouragement! That does seem like a possibly relevant process for scoring the ideas. As I mentioned, I want to put quite a bit of work into setting up the process for scoring ideas as it will have a primary, if not the biggest impact on the future trajectory of the project. But I am noting down already to talk to you down the road if we do not come across that process ourselves when researching existing processes for ranking alternatives.
Good idea on improving the currently available bunkers—one of the ideas I already noted down is a consultancy, possibly subsidized, that advises current bunkers being built on how to design them for extinction/civilizational collapse scenarios!
