Advice on writing for clarity:
Omit pronouns in favour of specific referents - exempli gratia this
In control markets people predict how well people will evaluate them, if they are given control of part of an organisation

In control markets people [x] predict how well others [people y] will evaluate the former's [people x's] (control market? what you meant by "them" was not clear), if people [x or y (I've no idea which party you meant)] are given control of part of an organisation.
I thoroughly searched Google for 'funge', and found no results that seem to fit. Please define it, and be specific.
If you want to get people interested, you need to tell them what you mean to do; if you are uncomfortable disclosing your idea in public fora to the degree necessary for garnering interest (an ambiguous qualifier, to be sure), then perhaps you might wish to reconsider your approach.

Some supposed benefits of this verb are that it takes one syllable rather than four, and it explicitly primes for the concept of "fungibility" in a way that highlights how often a tradeoff isn't being made against two single things, but rather a tradeoff is being considered between some coherent proposal versus a vast array of other possible plans with similar benefits, and partial fractions and/or combinations of s...

I suppose there is also.
1 I would want to use a kitty for a logo if we went with this name. This is probably why I shouldn't be allowed to make these sorts of decisions.
2 I've been noodling around with a django backend using tastypie to make a restful API, I was thinking about using AngularJS on the client (which I would need to learn). Still needs a lot of work.
