[IMPACT]

We meet up in an online workshop. In the session, together we will brainstorm, make decisions and optimize our strategy to build an idea. There will be at least 6 workshop sessions. Participants will leave with new materials and experience to extend their ability to create great proposals.

Sessions will be announced on several community channels and session results are uploaded to Swarm Youtube.

These sessions and videos help:

• proposers to ideate on their idea
• community advisors to see, how could we guide proposals with questions
• voters to learn about the project beyond the proposal

I'm currently spread thin across many projects so if there is a blocker or misunderstanding of the next steps it could take several days before I am able to have full focus on solving the issues.

Luckily all the projects I am involved with are related to Project Catalyst so my strategy is to make sure the end result is useful even if I am late to deliver on the proposal.

[AUDITABILITY]

How many proposers found value in the workshop and created a proposal?

How many of these proposals got over 4.2 score?

In Fund 7, I started tracking proposal journeys in the public Google Sheet. <https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1gSbxWc6tc3gV4qOFKuZqNcdlCrjQ6xoS1PgHNLtP3-c/edit?usp=sharing>

How many people show up for live workshop sessions?

The goal is to always have at least 2 additional people who want to improve proposals.

More views on the Youtube watching mini-proposal workshops?

The goal is to increase views per video in 2 weeks from 33 to 40

How many minutes average is watched per video?

Increase from average 7 minutes watch duration to 12 minutes

Our goal is to support proposers to get over 3.8 Ranking by Catalyst Advisors.

And the proposal is completed when the sessions are done, uploaded to Youtube, and the success of those proposals is tracked.

This proposal is previously funded in Fund 6 and 7
