Description: The purpose of this document is to analyse some real world proposal to understand the life cycle of a proposal better. The document will consist out of quantitative and qualitative examples.

Qualitative Examples

Example 1: Token Engineering Fundamentals

Link: https://forum.tecommons.org/t/te-fundamentals-te-academy/749

Proposal Summary: TE Academy will build the first bachelor-level education program and NFT-based certification, open job-boards and matchmaking activities for projects seeking Token Engineering expertise. TE academy asks the TE Commons to co-fund the TE education with $100K. To fund the development, TE Academy is currently reaching out to several DAOs and partners with a total funding target of $500K. Our goal is to have several ecosystems on board to support TE Fundamentals. Plus, we’ll create matchmaking activities with funding partners to provide a career perspective for graduates.

Proposal Properties:

6 Milestones, over 12 months, irregular interval, defined deliverable per Milestone
Initial suggested pay-out: split the total amount of $100K into quarterly payouts of $25K each. Due to community vote of TEC to “set high barriers for large lump-sum funding proposals” the as amount has been reduced to $50k with a second proposal follow-up proposal.
For every completed milestone TE will report progress to the community to provide maximum transparency, accountability and a good basis for voting on the next payout.

Comment (xm3van): Note how we have an irregular funding interval, there was a revision in the initial ask. How does this relate to the proposal inverter?
