Thanks, this is great question

as a @cerv explained it here

Retro Funding Season 7 Governance Process

Hi Mel I appreciate your post and, as the data lead for OSO, will say that I share the same goal as you wrt a competitive landscape for evaluation algos. We have no desire or intention to be a sole provider here, and the fact that we are for S7 is mainly a reflection of the huge lift to get the first versions of these algos up and running. One common source of confusion that I want to address is that the Foundation requires “models” at various levels: ETL/Pipeline, ie, to clean and connect …

I’ll add the answer a little bit

1. If OSO fails to provide reliable metrics, adjust the evaluation algorithm based on community or citizens feedback, integrate new data sources into OSO, and involve data scientists to develop alternative metrics

2. To prevent metric exploitation, the algorithm’s weighting is kept confidential until the end of the season, it can be suspended in case of anomalies, and evaluations are regularly updated based on human feedback
