Hey @helloshreyas thanks for putting this forward - imo the sum requested is far too high for a pilot, as is the operating cost. From experience, at the start of all DAOs there is a flurry of spending, less than ideal returns and then everyone is concerned about it all and valuable things end up getting cut because of the initial splurges.
I suggest a much smaller pilot allocation, followed by an election for the reviewers (they must show clear expertise and a range of perspectives to ensure fair and valuable allocation of resource) and then a clear and thorough milestone review process. The dashboard is ok but it shows spend only, we need to see value add and growth across the verticals mentioned.
I would like to see more detail around the above vs general strokes…
