a report demonstrating that our budgets align with the market and are consistent across workstreams will help during next budgeting season.
Wait - Let me get this straight – You all decided to commission a report to show that your budgets align with the market, before even analyzing the data that would show if that is true or not? How is that possibly legitimate? Why not start with a market analysis and then decide the conclusion based upon that information?
If you all were sincere in comparing Gitcoin’s spend to other projects, you would have said something like “We have heard the stewards feedback about budgets and will be launching an initiative to further digest the feedback along with market data, with the intention of creating financial stability for the DAO, and will be adjusting spend accordingly”.
A charade of a market analysis to justify the current cost structure with a preordained outcome only harms Gitcoin.
DAO Ops’ Saf will be reaching out to workstreams for salary data, and comparing to data on OpenComp.
Does OpenComp have a large dataset of public goods DAO compensation data on it? If not, which comparables will you be using for the analysis? Will you be comparing compensation data to massively profitable for-profit orgs, or to non-profits?
Stewards have been expressing increasing amounts of concerns over the DAO’s financial stability
If financial stability of the DAO is the primary concern of the Stewards, do you have any plans to actually address the financial stability of the DAO?
