To be clear I think you’ve proposed a needed approach to Intent 4
On this point, we diverge. Critical milestones represent the work required, but not the impact of that work. imo your budget should be tied to impact not milestone delivery. A couple of reasons for this
- If for instance, you can deliver only 8/10 interviews it is the performance of the delivered content that should be rewarded, not the amount of work or lack thereof.
- By linking reward to impact you are establishing the baseline by which you quantify and seek retroactive funding over time
Thank you for the constructive consideration of my feedback. I do think a minimum performance requirement helps but I do not think you need to move lines around. I opened a conversation on content performance standards and I applied your proposal to provide examples for the terminology. It’s all open for debate as I would like to generate some transparency, consistency and collective understanding around funding content impact vs work
