Nice post and good luck with Boulé! I will keep an eye on your project.
I am involved in a project that has the mission to bring
pension funds to the Ethereum blockchain. Our motivation is to increase transparency, achieve lower administrative costs, eliminate hidden fees, facilitate auditing and try to solve fraud and bad governance problems, among other improvements in the current pension/retirement plans market.
We think that this is a problem that smart contracts would really help to improve, like the other examples you mentioned. Immutable smart contracts can help transferring funds, define beneficiaries and give more control to participants and more transparency to regulators.
What do you think of that? Would you include that on your list?
Feel free to comment on our topic:

Sure your field will be disrupted from blockchain too. I didn't write it because it is well known that financial services and fund must be in the blockchain too, as well as banks, venture funds and financial services.
IBM is predicting 30% of banking services will be on the chain by the end of 2017, but I'm pretty sure it was more a PR move than a reliable forecast.
