Improve and Grow Auditability
Campaign Brief
When Fund7 happens we will be close to 300 funded proposals. It is extremely important that these proposals are evaluated/audited to see if they are delivering and if the ROI is being in line with what has been established initialy.
Currently, IOG is in charge of monitoring the development of these funded proposals, but when there are hundreds of funded proposals this will be an overwhelming work for IOG.
The Auditability challenge aims to ensure transparency in the use of Cardano's treasury resources, which will allow the Cardano community to have more information on the development of funded proposals through a checks and balances system.
Why is it important?
It's important that the funded proposals are evaluated to see if they are delivering what was established in their mission..
What does success look like?
Several projects evaluating funded proposals, providing reports, articles and metrics on the development and implementation of the projects.
Key Metrics to measure
-
Number of funded proposals audited

Considering that the idea is to audit and report on the development of proposals in different challenges, it is important that success metrics are thought out in relation to each challenge.
