Consistent with Season 4, reviewers in Season 5 will use rubrics to review Mission applications. The Grants Council is providing a rubric for each intent Growth Experiments and each intent Builders sub-committee rubrics here for visibility and community feedback. Please provide comments by Wednesday, March 25th for your comments to be considered. Rubrics will be finalized on March 28 at 19:00 GMT. Note that given the number of different mission requests (43) the Grants Council decided to create standard rubrics for each intent and each subcommittee and make edits based on the substance of the mission request.
Categories marked as (optional) could be removed from a specific mission request if it does not apply to the specific mission request.
The intake filter incorporated a few new points.
Intake review for Growth Experiments submission can be declined if:
The project is not deployed
Out of scope: Not incentivizing user growth
Circumventing the No Sale rule
It’s a grant program within a grant
Determination of OP recipient (end user) is not organic
underdeveloped
A second reviewer approval is needed if the intake is declined for any of these reasons.
I actually find the rubrics to be very useful. I first noticed them on the right hand margin as I was adding the content to the grant proposal. My only suggestion would be that I only found out about the grant proposal charmverse links through a nice gov member pointing me to the link. Perhaps they should be included in the ‘get a grant’ sections, or maybe I missed it? Otherwise I found the information very accessible. Obviously the tiers, teams/alliances and things like that can be a little confusing at first, but so far I’d say the system seems successful at guiding people to the proper intents.
After reviewing the first round of scoring for the Layerwide new project support mission and noting that no one was able to achieve the minimum score, we believe some of the rubrics in the builders grant may not be relevant to this mission, making it difficult for reviewers to score projects correctly. The main goal of this mission is to attract builders, not users.
Here is the list:
Insights for ui/ux
Accessibility
Non-defi user attraction
Opensource
Sybil detection
User draw (This one can be replaced with Builder draw)
Builder Commitment (Service provider is providing service for locked token)
Ease of bootstrap (How the proposer can assist and provide essential business needs for early and mid stage startups to bootstrap in the market)
Receivers potential assessment (How the proposer examines the innovative value, quality, novelty and feasibility of the projects that want to support and how can make it clarified)
