Something like

in case of a complex domain-specific topic that was not voted or heavily discussed by the community, consider running an educational and Q&A campaigns before putting the proposal to a vote

This may prevent a ton of "how it works" and "why it costs money at all?" questions.

Inspired by reading comments for the market makers RFP and related proposals.

The broader theme here is in direct voting systems education is critical: there is no elected expert who could choose the best option for you and everybody needs to educate themselves to some extent to make a decision.

So you propose that the proposal guidelines documentation should contain elements that are addressing this question. Is that right? I'm not sure that I understand.

@imestin correct, I propose to add a bullet or small paragraph to the Proposal Guidelines page to bring it to the attention of future proposal submitters. I view that page as an essence of Politeia's collective experience that helps new submitters to maximize their chances on Pi.
