Hi Annika,
I would like to have one more perspective for the goals,
user experience for the grants. (maybe it is hard to measure, but definitely we need to improve with engineering team together)

These are some of the goals for the DAOops Workstream as outlined by @kyle in our budget proposal.
- Continue combining DAO / Gitcoin Holdings meetings and calendars to ensure we have one contiguous experience.
- Continue to advance regulatory considerations at both the DAO level and the workstream level
- Establish to bolster recruitment, onboarding, member growth, and retainment
- Continue to champion accounting best practices and templates to assist workstreams with budgeting, accounting and bookkeeping.
- Support CSDO with implementation of ratified items (like Discord changes, Notion changes, etc.)
- Continue to improve the Stewards experience and engagement levels
- Grow and combine our User Support efforts to ensure protocol users are well supported
- Finalize open community experience tasks like Notion, Discord, Sobol, etc.
- Open source much of this workstream’s work so that we may act as a guide for other DAOs
More detailed objectives per initiative can be found here.
The Goal of user support in 2022
I have a dream for Gitcoin User Support (it is on Discord now) by the end of 2022.
– First User support is not only for our end user, but also support the contributors like recruiment, onboarding, growth, retainment etc.
- It is permissionless for joining Gitcoin support team (it is permissioned now)
- Everyone could do the support in their free time.
- Once their support reaches a pre-defined threshold, they will get rewarded.
In order to best service Gitcoin user, we not only need the Discord support, but also the great content (from knowledge base or user guides), so
- Build a rich (Support) knowledge base (rather than Knowledge Base - Gitcoin Support)
- Encourage the community to contribute to the knowledge base
- Contributors will get rewarded for their efforts.
Please leave your thoughts about the support.
any idea around when we’d like to officially announce GR13? or is that to be figured out on the 1/14th call? asking for DAO twitter : ) thx.
GR13: 3/9/2022 => 3/24/2022

+100 on these, in terms of some of the other OKRs we’ll be formalizing, check out our objectives in the Q1 PGF budget
One key thing I want to note as others think about their OKRs: our highest order objective is to increase the GMV of Gitcoin Grants and related public goods funding mechanisms so that we can sustain the web3 ecosystem. There are many ways to accomplish this, but I’d encourage everyone to go through their objectives and ask “How does this help us more effectively build and fund public goods?”
In terms of specific OKRs for Q1
Grassroots Efforts
- Help >500 new entrants to web3 understand why public goods are good via public goods PR
- Greenpill >20 new contributors across the library via the public library
Grants Ops
- Annika’s objectives above have been ratified and are good to go!
Public Goods Partnerships

FDD will be holding our Q1 strategy sessions between 1/12 - 1/17. I don’t want to post the goals before our collaborative decision making process. First, to not “lead the witness” in deciding our path. Second, to not create confusion if what I think of first were to change.

Sean from MMM here. We’re running a series of planning sessions right now. Current thinking is to have four key themes that are something like this with specific objectives and key results for each:
- Build the growth machine
- Build a leading web3 brand
- Support DAO workstreams
- MMM workstream health
We plan to gather feedback on a full draft by EOW and finalize them by end of next week!

We did a lot of retro and strategy planning in January (15 + hours) and chose 18 outcomes for the next 90 days with three success metrics for each. Each outcome falls under one of our “Top Level Goals” which are the metrics we want to use and improve round over round. Details on the 18 outcomes can be found on our FDD Weekly Update slides. Here are our top level OKRs to work on this year.
Sybil Defenders - Legitimacy
Gitcoin OKR: Decentralization
FDD Objective: Build a community driven anti-sybil pipeline
KR 1: Increase # of contributors to the open-source feature engineering pipeline during season x
KR 2: (Cost / Human Evaluation) goes down while maintaining inter-reviewer reliability
KR 3: Increase # of ecosystem data partners
Grants Investigation Agency - Credible Neutrality
Gitcoin OKR: Scalability
FDD Objective: Increase participation, transparency, and legitimacy in Grant Eligibility process
KR 1: Increase average reviewers per grant
KR 2: Increase the total number of reviewers added during each season
KR 3: Minimize grant time to activation during review period
Ground Control - Sustainability
Gitcoin OKR: Decentralization
FDD Objective: Be able to measure FDD health & success
KR 1: Contributor satisfaction metric go up
KR 2: GIA execution score go up
KR 3: Sybil Defense execution score go up
Here are the final Grants Ops H1 2022 OKRs as ratified on 1/26. Thanks to everyone who participated in planning!
Scale: Grow grants program
- Increase number of high quality grants that raise >$5K/quarter by 50% (pending market condition)
- Increase the number of side rounds by 100%
Scalability: Set ourselves up to execute grants on a larger scale
- Minimize the number of hiccups during the round
- Achieve NPS for participants, partners, and donors of >70
- Test at least two new constructs for funding grants (e.g., public goods coalition, aqueduct)
Decentralization: Continue to decentralize grants program
- Move grants ops completely out of Gitcoin Holdings & into the DAO
- Increase role of stewards/community in grants strategy & decision-making; define governance surface area
Hey,
I am working on a visual/design for the roadmap. I’ve copied all the text from this thread in an attempt to simplify every single one of them but to be honest I do not know which ones are important. I need these short and concise in order to make it visually appealing.
Thanks,
Octavian
I assembled the 2022 workstream plans into a strategy management system I built to address the coordination challenges of DAOs. Check out a video of the result here: https://omnistrat.com
This is great! Are there metrics around current grants raised = avg $/quarter etc.?
Thanks, QoQ growth is insane
