Yes but no. The concept doesn’t infer a measure for policies and political structures. I guess one could categorize it as a subset of the concept. This idea is we literally just test ideas and see their influence on the wellbeing of the people and the society.

Isn’t that already happening, to varying degrees? Lots of data is being collected, analysed, and published by various parties about how this or that policy is affecting things, but said research is also easily subverted by talking heads to cherry-pick their favoured points, or just generally drowned under inconsequential noise. It’s kind of why “I did my research” is a meme about stuff like antivaxxers sticking horse medicine up their butts instead of representing some sort of enlightened political decisions makers.
