The Question Bounties program will attach prizes once it is funded.\"\n---\n\n## Why it matters\n\nResearch money is limited too. The first problems solved should be the ones whose answers would change the most decisions.\n\n## Where to start\n\nFor each problem, estimate how much money would move if it were solved and how likely a solution is in the next five years. Publish the estimates and let the [Forecasting Platform](/tools/forecasting-platform/) test them.\n",
