Please describe your proposed solution.
Background:
The Challenge Team (CT) role and function in Project Catalyst have started from Fund7 and now is Fund9. Please refer to Input/Output Global (IOG) [1] sums up documentation on Challenge Team [2] and Challenge Teams: Return on Intention stewardship during Execution [3] for insights understanding.
The current Fund9 is allocated $5000 for each CT at the time of writing (25th Jun 2022) from IOG. Noting Fund7 was $2500 and $5000 for Fund8 for each CT. The amount is for the entire CT and to pay out when CT completes the close-out report, CT members to present the result of the challenge at the main Townhall. See the completed phases as in the Challenge Teams Web Portal CTWP flowchart.
IOG proposed the following percentages for each phase [4].
a. Phase 1: Fund Launch 15%
b. Phase 2: Execution 15%
c. Phase 3: Post Execution 70%
Issues arise when CT has more than ONE member in different time zones.
1) As Fund9, no CT comprises one team member. Suppose a CT has one member to care for everything in three phases. Thus, it means zero demand to have this proposal because there is no problem in payment, task dividend, one time zone and ultimately, no need for any kind of consensus.
2) Issues raised on each team member's contribution clarity, task allocation for each phase, records and over six months or more.
Despite $5000 is not a huge amount to manage. However, every team member from all challenge teams' contributions has been recognised and appreciated. Of course, payment dividend would be fair to the contribution amount for a participated team member.
Therefore, this CTWP will particularly help.
1) all the CT members to save time for record-keeping on a web-based interface without needing to use Excel, spreadsheet, Google sharing docs etc.
2) simplify payment dividend per phase for each participant member and entire CT and generate a close-out report containing individual team members’ wallet addresses and ready to send to IOG for payment.
3) consensus built-in future, in scenarios, the team member(s) disagree on other the team member’s task claiming for payment, if ever need to use it. See Table 1. below for a sample.
4) the CT knows whether a proposer has multiple funded proposals (FP) completed Proof of Live (POL) for the remaining FP with belong to other the challenge or not. See Table 2. for insight details.
5) proposer to look at the POL schedule in their localized time, the number of time slots available, and the times available if they have multiple FP in various challenges by entering main idealscale’s username to displace all funded proposals and POLs or enter proposal ID for single POL time. See Table 3. for sample records to consolidate [5].
In conclusion, the proposal is to address current obstacles and increase the effectiveness of the FP proposer and challenge team. Giving a sense of fairness in payment for CT members. Record keeping for every single task from each phase. Finally, CTWP will save a lot of time for CT members to effectively deliver and support the funded proposals.
Please describe how your proposed solution will address the Challenge that you have submitted it in.
Challenge Teams Web Portal – CTWP is
a web-based tool available 24 hours, and we tent to deliver this portal service for at least 12 months.
a record-keeping and management service to increase the enjoyment of team members when have to deal with time-wasting
a tool for CT members to increase productivity and have more time to support and provide the transparency report and payment calculation for each participating team member.
Thus, this proposal has addressed and well-fixed into Developer Ecosystem challenge.
What are the main risks that could prevent you from delivering the project successfully and please explain how you will mitigate each risk?
As explained in Feasibilities and Audibility, the proposal's scope is quite streamlined and always open. We are looking out for additional team members when needed to meet the delivery target for Fund 10 POL.
