The proposal gives a solution in the form of a playbook for funded companies to be informed about the operation of the Catalyst project. Clear guidelines are helpful for onboarding companies, projects, organizations to Catalyst and Cardano. Since the proposer has experience in onboarding these communities (provided with the name of projects they have successfully onboarded and the potential ones), it is valid that they develop a guidebook for onboarded companies on the next key steps, which are listed. Figuring out the know-how of how Catalyst works is a great way to facilitate progress and the effectiveness of a proposal. The solution to this stems from the frequently asked questions from other funded companies, so developing a playbook is a systematic way to tackle this problem. This play doesn’t stop at answering questions but will expand to making connections with ecosystems and community members as well as devising accounting and reporting processes. The proposer is able to highlight the impact of this playbook for the newly funded companies (how supporting these emerging companies will boost engagement). The clear operation of Cardano and Catalyst provided by the playbook is also a good way to encourage new companies to onboard. The proposer makes a good point of how funded companies will have a need to apply Cardano technology to conduct their proposal and a playbook will enhance this process and allow them to utilize Cardano technology to the fullest. High utilization rate of Cardano technology is highly positive for the growth of the Cardano community and paves the way for innovation. However, the proposal could specify in what form the playbook will be distributed (ebook, physical copies, …) or if it will be free of charge or come at a certain price. Little information is given on this so the proposer should elaborate more. The proposer is able to point out the main risks, being communication with many stakeholders and the fluidity of Catalyst’s operation, which can provoke reluctance for traditional organizations such as universities who require clear authentication. The proposer has given suitable mitigating measures for these risks.

The proposal is about A playbook for financed businesses that instructs their various teams on how to connect with the Catalyst operation for the greatest results. The proposer is actively pursuing the onboarding of numerous additional businesses with Cardano & Catalyst. Among them are several more established institutions like colleges, not-for-profit organizations, and businesses unrelated to technology. The proposal identifies a challenge's underlying problem. The proposal clearly adds the value to the Cardano eco system . The plan can be scaled to deal with the problem. The Team appears to be quite skilled and have provided the relevant information their experience. I firmly agree, after evaluating this suggestion, that it does a good job of addressing the problem.

This proposal seeks to develop a roadmap to onboard traditional organizations and companies (such as universities and large NGOs) into the cardano ecosystem, and to help onboard newly funded proposals into the Catalyst system. This aligns perfectly with the challenge goal of helping to provide legal and financial frameworks for new projects and large organizations. The team working on this is well experienced with this very thing. They have already been in the process of investigating what kind of resources exist and discovered a hole. Large professional organizations desire to see evidence of progress and history of work from Cardano/Catalyst. There is no professional looking repository of success, instead we have a large pool of decentralized hubs and resources, including discord, telegram, google sheets, github, gitbooks, etc. What is needed is a singular professional process that is clear, streamlined, and targeted at stakeholders of larger organizations. If successful this proposal would make a significant impact on furthering the mission of catalyst by bringing in more professional and higher level orgs and corps who can provide staff, financial, and network resources.

There are lot of questions that will raised in the new proposer's once the funding is completed, it might be of how to use the wallet money efficiently, whether to convert wallet coins into liquid money or use the same coins to buy something from catalyst program where projects would have been already present, Hence to overcome these challenges the proposer wants to develop a book where they can get answer to all the questions , he wants to onboard companies and provide suggestions to such companies in all financial way , Hence the idea of playbook helps new funded projects as a manger guide to make their project go still more smooth fully, Hence this proposal effectively addresses the challenge.

The Onboarded companies playbook is a $13,500 proposal that directs its focus to the center of this Challenges Main Criteria. This experienced Catalyst and Cardano team, that are effectively - full time- have proposed to put together a Catalyst Playbook for newly funded companies. The Playbook will be constructed to first focus on the newly funded company; direct accounting and community Communication; offer post funding support with an additional benefit (other than just the funded company) to attract new companies and increase engagement with them. To paraphrase a strong observation by the proposal team, in their recent experiences with helping to onboard other projects into Cardano they noticed some World Class projects that came to offer their services but after kicking the tires decided to stay and propose. This team by the way has stated involvement with onboarding or helping to onboard a couple of companies like Seedstars, Goodwall and Digifarm.

Key areas to figure out once a Proposal is awarded, according to this proposal is how to manage funds, make connections to the community, figure out administration around Catalyst and learn how to use Cardano technology. Their 6 point key metric solution includes: 1. Develop a playbook for funded operations, 2. QA written, 3. Office hours for funded, 4. Intro docs about Cardano technology for business use, 5. Helping to make connections to relevent people in Cardano, and 6. Collaboration with the Treasury Guild for accounting specific processes.

Based on this very specific Proposal for a systematic playbook in helping to onboard new Proposal teams, this teams (Razil Samusudin; Nori Nishigaya; Yoram Ben-Zvi and Jo Allumin & colab with the Treasury Guild) past successes and their Impact statement my assessment is a 5 ( I strongly agree this proposal effectively addresses the challenge) star proposal.

The proposer is able to provide clear deliverables and key metrics to measure within a period of time (ex: 50 downloads of guidebooks in Q1 2023). The vision of success is closely related to this F9 and their other proposal. The success will be the utilization of the guidebooks for companies to establish “long-term collaboration” with Cardano by both offering services to Cardano while using other Cardano services to accomplish their project.

By looking at the key metrices and the KPI's I can clearly say that the project can be successful. Once businesses start utilizing the service, are quickly onboarded with their admin, and engage with the community, success will be attained. The relevant issue has been described by the proposer in a way that is understandable. The proposer have also given the clear understandable solution to the challenge . By this i can assure that the proposal have given enough details to assess the progress of the proposal

This proposal has provided excellent detail regarding the clarity and audibility. The plan has been laid out and clearly defined. The goal is SMART (specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and timely). The measurables are specific and measurable. These metrics will provide Cardano with an excellent onboarding process that was developed through research and hands-on development. Overall this proposal should be voted for this fund.

The audit has presented us the clear goal that the team wants to achieve, where it wants to make new funded projects to get easy solution for barriers, that most of them might face, the audit has introduced all the team members and their expertise in preparing a book, the proposal has presented us the books the team has released since fund 7 ,and it has also onboarded 10 companies to continue with this project , this shows that the team has proven experience to work with. The proposed plan well structured timeline which includes work to be done before funding and later funding, the proposal even contains detailed timeline structure to complete the project . Hence, With the information provided is sufficient to audit the progress and the success of the proposal.

The metrics provided in the first section of the Proposal were found to be straightforward , understandable and would have (in my opinion) been fine for accountability and for success measurement and audit purposes. However, the proposal team elevated the transparency and measurable milestones by further slicing the deliverables. Instead of "Office Hours" in the Solution Phase, the proposal injects the metric of "120 hours of..", which is a very specific and measurable goal.

The milestones are even added to in more measurable items, e.g. How many funded companies are using our solutions/services - we expect…. And, how many downloads of guidebooks… - with another metric. Perhaps the most step out of the box metric (but we believe in what were doing optimism)is their "expectation" metric of "We expect by Q1 2023 at least 5 new companies to develop solutions using the Cardano technology and not only offering their services". That is confidence in my assessment and provides a long term metric to audit.

My Assessment for the clarity and the auditability is that this is a 5(strongly agree that this proposal has milestones with KPIs and identifiable measurements of success) star Proposal.
