The challenge is about being able to audit funded proposals as well as give the treasury value for money as well as assess the return on intention of proposers. The problem as outlined by this team is that at the beginning of a fund, after a proposal is selected as successful one, Catalyst will disburses the money to the proposers. After few weekly reports, the cash will continuously be disbursed. This leads to a lack of supervision on: (1) how the funded project performs; and (2) how well delivery is achieved, hence a waste of Catalyst resources. This is directly addressing an auditability issue

The problem being increase in number of proposal and increase in fund size have overburden the Catalyst management team. proposer is trying to solve it by building a tool that would take care of Catalyst fund management in which fund release is automated and funding will be on based on the progress of the proposal. This really does help to reduce the burden on the Catalyst management team hence the proposal identifies the issue which needs to be resolved. This tool will be very helpful to reduce the fund distribution work so the Catalyst management team can concentrate on other important things and which in turn increase the efficiency of Catalyst Team thus this will add value to the Cardano ecosystem. The given metrics and target of the proposal do align with the challenge. The proposal can be scaled to resolve future challenges efficiently. Taking all these into account it is safe to say the proposal effectively addresses the challenge

The proposal presents an excellent problem description. Right from the start, it demonstrates the author's concern to quantify the size of the problem, by making an association between the evolution of funds and the worsening of the problem.

The solution description was elaborated with a comparison between the current situation and the proposed solution divided into two contexts, one with a general approach and the other addressing the technological solution specifically. The clarity and detail used in the description of the solution demonstrates a strong professionalism of the author. His commitment is reflected in the quality of the documentation.

Regarding the correlation with the challenge, despite being succinct, it accurately pointed out how the solution meets the needs represented in the challenge. Among the items listed, two of them are most representative: (1) to develop a solution that promotes efficiency and scale with assertiveness; (2) expose with transparency and clear criteria the monitoring of progress and project delivery.

Proposal sees a large increase in the number of proposals after each funding round, placing a heavy burden on Catalyst's management team. They came up with a solution is to develop a Catalyst fund management tool. The Catalyst Fund will automatically fund according to the progress of the project. Within each Fund, funded proposals are disbursed after several weekly reports. As suggested by the team, this led to a lack of supervision on: (1) how the funds project performs; and (2) how well delivery is achieved, wasting Catalyst resources. Their solution is to develop a tool to monitor and distribute funds through: Number of transfers - corresponding to the amount of funds disbursed; the progress of the product delivery (consider if this is on time; how is the quality of the product delivery) this is the hardest part and they suggest using CA, vCA as auditors. Moreover, they offer a technical solution to analyze data sources on the basis of big DATA with algorithms that simulate Cardano's DAO administration such as building APIs; building original data… using Node.js, React, Flutter, MySQL… The solution description is somewhat incorrect, this is still lacking in clarity. I rate this suggestion as a good idea. The proposal also includes risks such as late capital, difficult quality assessment, etc. and also offers solutions to overcome the risks. These solutions are relatively reasonable.

This is a wonderful proposal. The idea of it is intriguing to me because it helps simplify the funding process. Right now, the process is great, but there can always be improvements. This will allow the proposers to get the information sooner and to make improvements on their proposal. Developing a tool that shortens the process in relaying information to the CA's and Proposers. They address the challenge in a way that can be understood by most people.

The team envisions being able to have a completed tool for proposal auditability that correlate released fund and project progress & project deliverable. Since the funding process is transparent, Catalyst fund will attract more talents to submit their idea. As a result, the number of proposal increases. Number of reports on project progress, project deliverable increases. Number for qualified deliverable increases. This is to be done through the development of a tool that is third party quality control process. This indicates that the team is open to audit as well and that is a good sign that they are likely to succeed

The proposal does consist of a step by step roadmap with milestones and a timeline to achieve each targets. This will be very helpful to audit and to make sure the proposal is going as per the planned. The proposer have given metrics which will be to measure the success of the proposal. The proposal also consists of a complete budget breakdown which will be very useful while auditing the development of the proposal. It does contain a detailed clear explanation of the targeted issue and also the solution provided addresses the issue. Therefore from above opinion the information given in the proposal should be enough to track the development of the proposal and in turn should be sufficient to audit the success of the proposal.

In the description of how the author will measure the project's progress, the points presented in the roadmap were used and percentages of execution were added, thus creating the project's milestones.

Regarding the reference of how the project's success will be, the author made an excellent correlation between the objectives achieved and their impact with the problems highlighted above.

One thing the author might consider adding to the proposal is the establishment of KPIs and metrics that will define the success of the project and the value it will generate for the community. Also, we know how the project team intends to monitor progress, but it would be interesting to let the community know how to access this information as, interestingly, their solution is still in development.

The proposal team provided clear, complete timelines and result of the proposal. At the end of the project, they have a tool, web, the number of proposals reported progress can be increased, suitable for the challenge.

The team did a really good job including the important information. They have kept the proposal concise while still highlighting the importance of this funding mechanism. The roadmap was able to give the CA's a good view on what the mechanism is going to look like and what the community can look forward to. This would really benefit the different proposers and CA's that are new to this funding system.
