Right up my alley, thanks for sharing and all the references.

I was curious if you thought about a mostly market-based solution for dynamic pricing:

1) Start through a blind voting process, where the group settles on a point value per chore

2) Each person drafts into their hand a set of chores that roughly sum to the same total point value as everyone else

3) Every week, a person can choose to trade chores with other people. Perhaps they can sub-divide chores and put them into complex trades with others.

4) Over time, true "price discovery" emerges reflecting the preferences of the individuals in the group.

5) Certain chore cards can go out to third-party providers. Perhaps the whole group has a third-party budget divided equally between all individuals, who can choose to trade for a chore that they can choose to out-source with their own budget.

6) Over time, the system flexes as preferences change. For example, maybe in the summer, I just want to walk the dog 3 days per week, but not 7, etc. I would then be looking to trade out 4 dog walking days to others in the group.

It feels like the app resolve many issues creating leaderless…

Has the app ever been used in a work setting?
