Impact / Alignment
Does the proposal effectively addresses the challenge?
The proponent posed the problem that authentication and skill management were efficient and common for Web 3, and the leading applications are now proprietary. The solution offered is LearnerShape SkillsGraph which will be a fully functional, open source, standards-based Web 3 skills management solution. It builds on three core technical pillars: -Blockchain authentication with credential privacy -Open source with standard APIs
- Comply with standards. LearnerShape has built a proof of concept for the open source, decentralized, and funded SkillsGraph from Catalyst in F6 and it is being tested in two Catalyst-funded projects in F7 & F8. All results of previous Funds are updated in the article by the author. In this F9, the proposed team wants to provide improvements to the LearnerShape SkillsGraph. This proposal is perfectly suited to the challenge because it aims for a product (with associated integrations) that provides a better alternative to centralized skills management platforms. With the experience of the team that has been working on this proposal for a long time, they have come up with 5 risks that can be encountered during project development and also have very suitable solutions to overcome them.

The described problem matches into the challenge, as it is important to futher blockchain based learning and credentials. This will especially be greatly beneficial to spreading of different skills and to facilitating DeWork by providing a framework for credentialling and verification of acquired skills. Thus, it will generally be useful towards the Cardano ecosystem and from the makeup of the proposal it also seems scalable.

The problem that there is no universal and effective skills management and authentication solution for Web 3 is the one to address this challenge. The current top apps are exclusive hence the new proponent writing up this challenge. The solution to this problem is that LearnerShape has built a proof of concept for the open source SkillsGraph which is the solution to the current challenge. This project follows on from the previous decentralized funds in Catalyst F6 and is testing and developing it in F7 and F8. If the project is funded by this fund 9, the proponent will deploy a fully functional v2 version through this project. This proposal can scale up the challenge in the future and help more people know about Cardano/Catalyst. The author has also given 5 risks that could affect their challenge: the risk of Not having enough demand for the services we are developing, the development is more complex than expected, especially especially factors that need to be integrated with third parties, insufficient qualified development personnel, projects not delivered on time due to complexity, available human resources and/or other factors, ADA volatility reduces our ability to pay staff. However, the author also has solutions for that risk. It does not affect the development of this project very much.

The well-defined problem is that there is no universally effective skills management and authentication solution for Web 3 and today's leading applications is proprietary this is the problem to be solved at this challenge, It is directly related to the problem to be solved at the moment . This proposal is a continuation of the funds before the well-defined solution, LearnerShape has built a proof of concept for the open-source SkillsGraph, and will be rolling out a fully functional v2 version through the project. The author has listed 5 risks that could weaken this challenge: There is not enough demand for the services we are developing. The development is more complex than expected, especially the elements that need to integrate with third parties. There are not enough qualified development personnel. The project was not delivered on time due to complexity, available human resources and/or other factors. ADA volatility reduces our ability to pay staff. These are the risks that the author has given, but after these risks, the author will find out how to overcome and solve the above problems.

This is a very good proposition. This project - LearnerShape SkillsGraph v2, will provide an open-source alternative to existing skills management solutions (the leading current solution is LinkedIn). With advantages such as: open source software, robust and seamless integration with blockchain functions,… will allow it to become over time a leading open alternative for skills management. Based on the above information, it completely solves the challenge posed.

Feasibility
Given experience and plan presented is likely that this proposal will be implemented successfully?
Offers a 7-month plan, I found this to be very well laid out as it marks very well as the entire development will take place. The author provides activities that will be happening every month, which are very active, so we have a very clear view of the process. The required budget of $49,460 is very well explained. The budget is clearly and concisely defined, with a reasonable amount required As for the team, this is the best part in terms of feasibility, as we know a lot of details about all the members involved. The project team consists of the LearnerShape Team and the RootsID Team (for integration purposes). wallet case). This is a team that is quite familiar with Catalyst, however, the proposal has been careful to provide their names, backgrounds, with their expertise explained, how they relate to Cardano, their affiliated profiles, and roles their role in this project. So I consider this part perfect, no improvements are needed.

The overall feasibility of this proposal is good. The proposers are transparent about themselves, their qualifications and their cooperations and have shown to deliver good work before, so a lot of trust can be given to them. The roadmap and the budget are a bit high-level, but overall still reasonable. An extensive discussion of possible risks and mitigation strategies towards them has been made which shows a lot of planning ahead and gives this overall proposal a good feasibility. The github repo also shows that the developers are competent. Some positions are unfortunately not filled yet.

The time taken to complete this project is intended by the author to be in 7 months. The implementation period is from September 2022 to the end of March 2023. They have given a clear roadmap with detailed and specific work through each month. A clear vision and goal setting. Authors also gather relevant skills in research to provide confidence in their ability to achieve their proposed goals. They also pledge that if funded for this project, it will not affect the other work of fund 7 and fund 8. The successful items of the project will be: Developing and deploying version LearnerShape SkillsGraph is suitable for large scale and powerful B2B and B2C skills management projects and applications. At least two significant enterprise pilots of v2 apps have been agreed in principle - as noted above, PeopleCert and the City of London are already strong prospects. There is a fully developed plan and roadmap for SkillsGraph's broad and open interoperability with other apps for skills management and validation. Through the above successes, we can see that LearnerShape SkillsGraph will be a really necessary Web 3 skills management solution in this category. It is standards-based, fully functional open source, it is built on three core technical pillars: blockchain authentication with credential privacy, open source with standard APIs, compliance adhere to standards. LearnerShape's vision is that SkillsGraph will provide an open source alternative to existing skills management solutions.

The timeline is clearly defined by the author, and the project owner intends to successfully implement this project within 7 months. The author intends to do the work on a monthly basis from September 2022 to March 2023. The author also clearly lists each task for each month. The team is also currently working on two other funds related to the SkillsGraph project, but these projects do not affect the current application for this fund 9. The goals of this project are clear and specific, and the progress of the project can be easily checked and tracked. The success of the project is clearly described by the author: developed and implemented a version of LearnerShape SkillsGraph suitable for large scale and powerful B2B and B2C skills management projects and applications. . For at least two (forward and pilots 3-4) v2 app critical enterprise to be agreed in principle - as noted above, PeopleCert and City of London are already promising prospects. strong. For a fully developed plan and roadmap for SkillsGraph's broad and open interoperability with other apps for skills management and validation. This success is directly related to the challenges of the campaign. The solution to this problem is to create Dapps, products, and integrations for community use that are becoming better alternatives to the current centralized providers. This is exactly what LearnerShape SkillsGraph wants to aim for with this proposal. They aim for a product that provides a better alternative to centralized skills management platforms.

Information about the team has been provided, including the LearnerShape team and the RootsID team. They include PhDs, developers, UX UI designers,… each of them has the full knowledge, experience, and skills to carry out this project. Each person has their own strengths, their own forte, combined to form a unified, strong team. Links to their linkedin profiles are also provided. This makes team information more transparent. In addition, they have achieved success in funds 6 7 8 (Universal Skills Authentication, PACE: Skills credentials, PeopleCert DevOps Pilot on Cardano). All of the above information makes us completely confident in the ability of this team, they are really talented people. However, it would be great to have more profiles (Linkedin, telegram,…) of UX UI designer and Junior Developer. A detailed roadmap within 7 months is provided quite specifically. You have identified what needs to be done for each individual month. This brings many benefits to everyone (easy to monitor and evaluate) and to the project itself (helps the project develop in the right direction, right target). Detailed budget has been calculated. However, I think it is necessary to split the budget further. By determining the number of hours worked, the amount paid per hour.

Auditability
Does the proposal provides sufficient information to assess and audit progress and completion?
The auditability of the proposal is good. Because of the feasibility of building a work schedule, we were able to orient ourselves well about what would happen, when, and how. Progress tracking is also reported monthly based on milestones. The proposal also provides some very easy-to-measure KPIs such as: -The use of instances of SkillsGraph operated by LearnerShape: number of users, number of credentials generated, number of credential validation -Using open source: number of commits to Github repos, number of contributors to Github repos, number of known SkillsGraph instances. The success of the project was also determined from the start that made SkillsGraph a standards-based, fully functional, open source, widely adopted, and significantly improved Web 3 skills management solution. include existing proprietary solutions.

The problem and solution description are appropriate and show what will be delivered in general. Together with the roadmap and KPIs/metrics an overall along-the-way auditability theoretically is possible and can also be practically done by following the github commits of the proposer, who has posted the link to their current repository

KPIs are clearly defined, and we can easily track the success of LearnerShape SkillsGrap through the metrics that the author has listed: number of users, number of generated credentials, number of confirmations credential authentication, open source usage, number of commits to our Github repos, number of contributors to our Github repos, number of known SkillsGraph instances. The future implementation plan listed by the author is very detailed and specific. The performance metrics are complete and clear. About Team LearnerShape is an award-winning startup building an open-source, AI/blockchain-based skills infrastructure; With over 20 years of experience in authentication technology & education; funded in F6, F7 & F8 for SkillsGraph projects, with app released; partnered with RootsID, a leading wallet provider. The team includes the following members: Maury Shenk is the founder and CEO, Dr Jonathan Street is the head of Data Science, Dr Sean Miller is the head of Web development, Rodolfo Miranda, Lance Byrd.. .. and some other members. This is a powerful group I firmly believe that if the project is funded then success is just the destination for them. The grant budget of this proposal is $49.460. The grant budget is divided by the author into five activity categories: technical design, UI/UX, integration, general coding, documentation and community. with funding for cloud server capacity. I find it easy to measure the success of this proposal by the number of surnames the author has listed.

I have read all the information you provided (read suggestions, attachments, website,…). The information provided is sufficient for everyone to judge the success of this project. In addition to the issues that I mentioned in the previous section, I think there should be a few more metrics to evaluate the success of the project (for example, after implementation, there will be 500 monthly visits,. ..). Besides that, I also want to give you a compliment for identifying the risks, challenges and ways to mitigate them. This is an important factor that directly affects the long-term development of the project. Another plus point of the project is that you have been aiming for autonomy, which will help optimize the amount of investment that the Cardano ecosystem spends. This is a helpful suggestion. I completely believe in this project, hope it will be implemented successfully. If so, it will bring great value to the community and the Cardano ecosystem at large.
