Linked Pre-Proposal

Should the Performance Metrics be a requirement for the Grantees?

Summary

Establish as a requirement that, projects funded through the DAO Grants program or the Bidding and Tendering process should report the Performance metrics.

Abstract

The proposal aims to require that projects funded through the DAO Grants program or Bidding and Tendering process should provide regular reports about their performance metrics. By requiring reporting on key performance indicators, the DAO can ensure transparency, accountability, and effectiveness of funded projects, ultimately fostering a culture of data-driven decision-making and maximizing the impact of community contributions.

Motivation

The proposal is necessary to address the need for standardized reporting on the impact of projects funded through the DAO Grants program or the Bidding and Tendering process.
Currently, there needs to be more visibility into the outcomes and effectiveness of these projects, making it challenging for the community to assess their success or identify areas for improvement.
Without clear reporting requirements, it is difficult to determine whether the allocated funds are being used efficiently and whether the projects are achieving their intended goals. Establishing a framework for reporting impact metrics will enable the DAO to track the progress of funded initiatives, identify successful strategies, and allocate resources more effectively in the future.

Specification

The proposed policy requires all projects funded through the DAO Grants program or Bidding and Tendering process to regularly report on their impact metrics.

  • Grantees will be required to provide detailed information on key performance indicators (KPIs) relevant to their project’s objectives, according to the category selected (Grants Program) or as set out in the Bid.
  • Reports will need to be submitted at predefined intervals, such as monthly, quarterly, or annually, depending on the duration and scope of the project. Additionally, grantees will be expected to provide qualitative insights and analysis to contextualize the quantitative data, demonstrating the project’s overall impact on the Decentraland or/and DAO ecosystem.
  • Failure to comply with reporting requirements will be a revocation cause.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the proposal to require reporting of impact metrics for projects funded through the DAO Grants program or Bidding and Tendering process addresses the critical need for accountability and transparency in the Decentraland ecosystem. By setting the systematic measurement and reporting of project outcomes, the DAO will ensure that resources are being allocated effectively and projects align with community goals.
This initiative will empower community voters to make data-driven decisions, drive innovation, and maximize investments’ positive impact on Decentraland’s development.

Could you please show performance metrics report templates by category ? @Zino

Voting no because grants need to be all retrospective and replaced by monetization. The bidding and tender stuff is too complex for anyone to follow and should be deleted.

Hi Lordlike.
Thank you for asking.
If this proposal passes and is escalated to governance, I think that should be added to the implementation pathway.
It would be great if you have some templates to use as a kickstart!
I can show what we are using now, but we need to iterate each category’s KPIs to collect better data.
Also, since this wasn´t a requirement, sometimes it was hard to gather the information.

This is 1 example, taking as a source In the World Category.
Also, the information was collected according to what the grantees had informed us, and we double-checked it. I think this should be automatic in the future (it can be added to the implementation pathway, too).
