(moving these questions from my retrospective post as it feels better suited here)

Thanks for taking the time to write this up @jon, few questions:

Goals

  1. What were the measurable outcomes of each experiment, and how do these track to objectives outlined in past proposals or roadmap updates?

Reading through the above post, I see some insight, is this a fair summary?

(:white_check_mark:= goal hit | :x:= goal missed)

First Wave (Fall 2023 → Winter 2024):

  • Software for Network States: $50k contract :x:
  • Deep Work Club: $10k MRR :x:
  • Solarpunk Sandbox: $20k grant :white_check_mark:
  • Supper Clubs: 200 participants :white_check_mark:

Second Wave (Winter → Spring 2024):

  • 500 Citizens: 500 subscriptions :x:
  • Family Neighborhood Map: 30 neighborhoods :x:
  • Eclipse @ N0: Citizen benefits not used❌
  • Merch Store: $2k monthly sales :x:

Third Wave (Summer → Fall 2024):

  • Neighborhood Accelerator: Run first cohort :white_check_mark:
  • Network Society Camp: Host gathering :white_check_mark:
  • L2 neighborhoods: Partner with zones✅

Are there any other quantitative metrics or qualitative feedback that you’re tracking?

Community health

  1. Can you share any detailed metrics or data to evaluate the impact of these experiments on the health of the community before and after they were run?

For example:

  • How has website traffic increased or decreased?
  • How about engagement on socials, newsletter, the forum?
  • Any community surveys to point to with other data (outside of TNS)?
  • Attendance at Cabin events?

You make this claim in the Cabin Labs First Year Retrospective post:

Can you share any data to substantiate this statement?

Budget

  1. What was the total DAO budget allocated to these experiments? Both for USDC, and Cabin governance token distribution?
  2. How many unique contributors received USDC payments?
  3. How many community members received Cabin Governance token distributions?
