[FINAL] Delegate Corner Podcast - Mission Proposal

[Sinkas]

Thank you for the continuous feedback and discussion!

Critical milestones represent the work required, but not the impact of that work.

I think you’re right on that, and that’s part of the reason why in my response to your first comment I wrote:

@Sinkas

So if we want to assess the impact of the mission (which I believe I am trying to do in the original proposal, but just don’t have the framework to do so, given how missions in season 4 are structured) we should try and refrain from referencing to traditional ways of measuring output in hours of work.

Unfortunately, with the way the missions are structured, I don’t think there’s a framework to have Critical Milestones represent impact instead of work. Two reasons for that IMO:

1. Impact of content can, by default, only be measured retroactively, while mission proposals and the metrics we use for critical milestones are proactive. Missions are supposed to incentivize people to do work and deliver impact, while RPGF is meant to reward people for work they’ve already done - an important distinction to be made.
2. Impact can sometimes be subjective. One might value the quantity of views while someone else might value the quality/“result” of the views. That means I might put out a video that’s seen by 10,000 people that do nothing as a result of the video, or I might put out a video that’s seen by 1,000 people, but 30 of them create a delegate profile as a result. How to judge what is most important if we’re talking about potential results that we have no indicator of?

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

I’ve read the post before typing my response here, but I’ll also drop my thoughts under it to keep the discussions relevant in the respective threads.

P.S I know it could have worked the other way, but it’s funny that just 2 days after I wrote my response, $OP’s price plummeted by >15%, and as a result, so did my potential grant’s value, at least for the time being.

Given the unpredictability of crypto markets and the grim outlook of the economy as a whole, it makes sense to try to mitigate downside risk by requesting more funds.
