RE: Value Plan Q4 2025 Proposal and Event Overview

in #valueplan19 days ago (edited)

Not like it's not crystal clear for everybody what purpose VP serves, just for fun, I asked the amazing AIs what they think about it!

Overall Verdict: Ambitious but Unprofessional

The proposal has strong elements and reflects a lot of work, but it is structured more like a community update than a professional funding proposal for a DAO. It would likely face significant scrutiny and requests for clarification from DAO members.

Critical Weaknesses (Why it's Not Yet Professional)

  1. No Clear Ask (The Most Critical Flaw)
  2. No Detailed Budget Breakdown
  3. Vague or Missing Success Metrics (KPIs)
  4. Lack of Results from Previous Funding
  5. Narrative Over Data
  6. Unprofessional Formatting

Success isn't "holding events." Success is "holding events that achieve specific, measurable outcomes that advance Hive's strategic goals at a reasonable cost."

Recommendations:

Provide a Detailed Budget

Define Clear KPIs for Every Initiative: For each event and ongoing activity, state 2-3 measurable goals.

Example for ChainCulture: "Target: 300 attendees, 100 new sign-ups, 5 new projects building on Hive within 90 days post-event."

Report on Past Performance

Conclusion: The team is clearly doing extensive work and has a bold vision. However, to be taken seriously as a professional proposal worthy of significant DAO funding, it must transition from a descriptive activity log to a prescriptive, measurable, and accountable investment plan. The current version would likely be sent back for major revisions in a well-run DAO.

Factors Working AGAINST Ongoing Acceptance:

The "Blank Check" Problem: This is the biggest issue.

Lack of Measurable ROI

The "Core Team" Centralization Paradox

Competition for Funds

A proposal in this format is unlikely to be ongoingly accepted by a sophisticated and truly decentralized DAO without significant changes.
