Hi,
This North Star is also really confusing in relation to this proposal, I understand our goal to simplify how we generate quantitative data that can lead us to understand if the Mission Requests being executed are efficient and a better way to deploy funds to achieve a joint goal.
I do wonder though, which metrics should applicants be looking at and optimizing for in these instances where we have such divergent goals as here:
Should they optimize for the metrics listed in the Mission Request? Or should they optimize for “total amount of OP delegated from new addresses using the grantee’s protocol”.
Will an applicant be “punished” for not meeting the later introduced North Star metric?
I know we’re learning and I strongly support standardization of data generation, I think for this one we’re not aligning to the right incentives of what was aimed for with the Mission Request and if do have a punitive behavior towards those applying to execute it or the creators of the Mission Request then we’re setting a bad precedent. I would therefore suggest we, as mentioned, consider the timing for future enforcement of North Star metrics to Requests in the future and be lenient to Missions suggested this Season.
