Crowd sourcing error detection with incentives for error discovery and costs for the existence of errors hits at both the autopoetic requirements for a solution as well as the skin in the game aspect of preventing fraud.
A tiny example of this was while teaching computer programming to high school students, I paid them school money (tradable for food, sweatshirts, etc.) for any mistakes they found in my assignments or directions. They got a smaller amount for typos, medium amount for basic errors and students who uncovered conceptual problems, weaknesses, discrepancies, inconsistencies got serious rewards as well as public shout out.
TBH, I had minimal skin in the game. The school money was photo copied, but it did require-allow me to frequently admit that I made mistakes as a teacher and publicly declare again and again that achieving the highest quality product (in this case clear assignment with maximally supportive directions/resources) was the goal.
I love the thought of government agencies having to publish their budgets online and unleashing a country full of accountant-error checkers who get paid some amount of money for each mistake they find and the agencies losing money for each mistake they make.

Campbell's law and others screw this up in a larger scale, there has to be a way of both competition and removal of collusion. https://rogersbacon.substack.com/p/eponymous-laws-part-3-miscellaneous
