I was going to link to Polis after I read the first part of your answer, but I see you’ve beaten me to it. And in so doing you’ve pretty much answered your own question. Thanks!
I am probably a bit too enthusiastic about applications of Polis-like's (in the "when you have a hammer" sense), but there's a bit more to the system's mechanism design than just Polis -- it's just one signal of many during a full-day event format.
I expect some form of the system she describes to be the basis of much research funding in the coming years (following prototypes in more nimble cryptocurrency/governance communities)
There's an upcoming pilot with real funding in late Feb, that I'm excited to be supporting on! If you have time to watch her video, and find it interesting, you should def get in touch with her after that
