Praise Analysis Dashboard

1. Does this proposal address that some categories may be under rewarded and others over rewarded?

No

2. Does this proposal address that paid contributors have had a 50-85% reduction to their total number of impact hours?

Yes

3. Does this proposal address that foundational members of the Token Engineering Community may lack recognition for their less visible work?

Yes

4. Does this proposal address the distribution of impact hours in relation to equality metrics such as the Gini Coefficient?

No

What interventions are being proposed?

1- My opinion is that Twitter and attending meetings were overcompensated considering the average IH for Twitter was 0.54 and the average for meetings was 1.14.
I can’t think of a fair way to redistribute the weight between categories. I believe praising attendance was a large building block of our culture but that the quantification was heavy on the rewards. I would suggest that moving forward, retweets aren’t praised and meetings are rewarded by SourceCred or quantified more lightly.

2 - Below is a list of all contributors paid by the Commons Stack, Giveth, General Magic and the Commons Swarm who are getting an IH deduction. I would like to propose that:

1. Contributors who didn’t have their primary jobs workload affected by TEC work have their full IH restituted;
2. Contributors who did have their primary job workload slightly merged with the TEC get a deduction of 20%;
3. Contributors who had about half of their primary job workload merged with the TEC get a deduction of 40%;
4. Contributors who have most of their workload merged with the TEC get a deduction of 60%;
5. Contributors who have the TEC as their full workload get a deduction of 70%.

I talked to a few people on this list to try getting clarity about their workloads and agreements but there still might be wrong assumptions, so please feel free to contact me.

3 - Similar to Griff’s proposal, I suggest we have a praise party for critical TE members. I additionally suggest we add how much IH we think they should receive to help with the praise quantification and also that we make a list with some of their contributions to the TE ecosystem and share them on tweets and on a blog post as an educational initiative.

4 - I love the idea of a UBI but it’s something that needs more thinking in my opinion. I don’t see how distributing UBI now could help with the problem sets that were initially raised, especially with giving better rewards to TEs and improving the governance distribution.

What is the reasoning?

Thank you, @liviade1! I appreciate your attempt to reimagine a more correct distribution. It is evident change is needed, and simply because that change will be difficult to sort out does not mean it shouldn't happen!

Hey @liviade1 I can only imagine the time you've spent here going through so many individual situations and looking to work out what's fair for each of them and I would fully support tweets (and meeting attendance) getting a smaller amount of IH.
