Economic Impact and Research Framework Lead

Location

RemoteCompensation: Part-time - Bi-weekly paid contract (2–3 months), with potential transition to full-timeStart Date: ImmediateOrganization: The Cybernetic Economic Intelligence Foundation (CEIF) and Moneetize

ContextThe Cybernetic Economic Intelligence Foundation (CEIF) is a nonprofit research organization focused on the design and evaluation of next-generation economic systems, incentive structures, and agent-based coordination. Moneetize is the applied outcome of this research: a consumer-facing agentic operating system delivered through a live, gamified economic platform. The system enables individuals to generate Agent-Based Income (ABI) through structured participation in real economic activity, with the objective of reducing long-term dependence on wages and personal credit while sustaining growth. In March, Moneetize will launch a pilot in partnership with the University of Toronto Fintech Association. This pilot represents the first real-world deployment of the system with live users, real incentives, and observable economic behavior in a non-live and gamified environment.This role exists to ensure the pilot can be evaluated not merely as a product or engagement test, but as an evaluation-ready delivery-infrastructure experiment. The Role

We are seeking an Economic Impact and Research Framework Lead to design and operationalize the economic research, feedback, and evaluation architecture for the pilot.

Your Primary Responsibility: To ensure that the pilot activity produces defensible, stakeholder-relevant evidence—grounded in delivery mechanics and participation-based income accrual, not speculative claims or engagement metrics alone. You will structure how data, behavior, and outcomes are interpreted in order to develop a qualified theory of impact that can be communicated credibly toproduct manufacturers and suppliers,financial institutions and credit unions,social venture and nonprofit partners (e.g. food banks) Core Mandate 1.Evaluation-Ready Impact Logic You are responsible for answering the following question: What economic claims can be responsibly made when income and purchasing power accrue as a structural byproduct of participation—rather than through recurring wage or benefit disbursement—based on observed pilot behavior? This includes framing ABI outcomes using delivery-mechanics language suitable for independent evaluation, such as persistence vs. reset cycles, liquidity stability between disbursements, and administrative and transactional friction, without implying entitlement change, investment exposure, or the creation of new benefits. Your work should support the broader thesis that participation-based delivery systems can mitigate negative externalities of wage- and credit-centric models, broaden economic inclusion without suppressing growth, and improve standards of living through aligned incentives rather than increased debt. Primary Responsibilities

Designing the economic research framework for the pilotDefining impact hypotheses, variables, and measurement logicStructuring quantitative and qualitative feedback loops tied to ABI mechanicsMapping user behavior → economic outcomes → stakeholder relevanceEstablishing baselines, comparisons, and limitations appropriate to a pilot contextWorking with product, community, and narrative teams to ensure data capture supports evaluation needsTranslating pilot outcomes into clear, disciplined narratives suitable for institutional and research audiences

Your outputs will directly informsupplier and manufacturer value propositions,financial-institution conversations around income stability, credit dependency, and risk,social-venture partnerships focused on household resilience, andthe CEIF’s ongoing research agenda. 2.Stakeholder-Focused Evaluation Design Your framework should enable credible analysis across three domains: Manufacturers and suppliersParticipation-driven demand qualityPredictability and planning signalsReduced volatility relative to transactional-only models Financial institutions and credit unionsEvidence of reduced reliance on personal creditIndicators of income persistence and cash-flow stabilityFoundations for future participation- or income-linked structures (without premature product claims) Social venture and nonprofit partnersReduced dependency on recurring aidImproved liquidity stability between interventionsIncreased participation, dignity, and self-sufficiency This role is well suited for someone with experience in:applied economics or economic researchimpact evaluation or policy-adjacent pilotsfinancial inclusion, labor economics, or development economicsdesigning research in live, real-world systems You are comfortable with:imperfect or bounded datasetsdistinguishing correlation from causationtranslating complex dynamics into disciplined claimsworking closely with product, operations, and institutional stakeholders This role is not suited to candidates focused primarily on:ESG or impact storytelling without methodological rigoracademic theory disconnected from executionreporting outputs without evaluation design
