GG24 Sense Making Report: Breaking into Enterprise

Welcome @cryptotwilight!

Evaluated using my steward scorecard — reviewed and iterated manually for consistency, clarity, and alignment with GG24 criteria.


:x: Submission Compliance Check

  • Problem & Impact: :white_check_mark: framed as “Ethereum’s enterprise gap vs. AI adoption”
  • Sensemaking Analysis: :warning: limited — relies on job board comparisons, not systematic research
  • Gitcoin Fit & Fundraising: :warning: possible, but no commitments or mechanism design included
  • Success Metrics & Reflection: :white_check_mark: lists counts (scoped problems, solutions, deployments), but vague attribution
  • Domain Info: :x: no named experts or allocation mechanics

Verdict: Not fully compliant — missing confirmed experts, allocation design, and committed co-funders.

Total Score: 4 / 16

# Criteria Score Notes
1 Problem Clarity & Relevance 2 Enterprise adoption gap is real and timely; AI comparison raises urgency
2 Sensemaking Approach 1 Relies on job board + AI hiring comparisons — thin evidence base
3 Gitcoin Fit & Uniqueness 1 Gitcoin could play a unique convening role, but role vs. existing enterprise consortia not clear
4 Fundraising Plan 0 Lists possible partners (SporkDAO, Arbitrum, Optimism, NEAR) but no commitments
5 Capital Allocation Design 0 No mechanism (challenge prizes, RFPs, pilots) specified
6 Domain Expertise & Delivery 0 No named experts or enterprises onboard
7 Clarity & Completeness 0 Broad scope; lacks crisp wedge or October deliverables
8 Gitcoin Support Required 0 Would need Gitcoin to provide everything: stewarding, design, ops, and fundraising

:pushpin: Feedback for Improvement

Where I agree with @owocki:

  • Needs a wedge market — “enterprise” is too broad. Pick 1–2 sectors (e.g. supply chain, telco billing) and focus.
  • Allocation method is missing — define RFPs, milestones, or challenge briefs.
  • Experts and funders must be confirmed; otherwise, this cannot ship on GG24 timelines.

What I’d add:

  • Current framing reads more like an aspiration than an actionable domain. Enterprises move slowly; without pre-committed pilots, nothing meaningful lands by October.
  • KPIs should measure cost savings, rec

:x: Ineligibility Note

While the problem statement is important and timely, this proposal does not meet baseline requirements for eligibility:

  • No confirmed domain experts or stewards
  • No co-funding commitments
  • No defined allocation mechanism

As written, it reads aspirational rather than executable, and cannot be considered compliant with GG24 criteria.
