Agreed, the upgrade is the impact/result of the mission. The funding is meant for the upgrade to happen, not for the impact the upgrade will have on the ecosystem after it has happened.
Similarly, with my Delegate Corner Podcast proposal as an example, the impact of the mission is the creation and publishing of the podcast’s episodes, not the effect those episodes will have after they’ve been published.
It is exactly because RPGF is not guaranteed that mission proposals should fund the completion of work, rather than the impact the work has on the community/ecosystem.
