Hello everyone,
I am Lorenzo, the secretary of the Product Committee.
I wanted to inform you about an error in the total calculation in the spreadsheet which calculated the Research budget to around ₳ 8M (as noticed also by @brouwerQ).
The largest part of the Research budget is the Academic research sub-bucket. The work related to that is budgeted per research initiatives (and calculated considering the Full Time Employee cost equivalent), and it will be awarded through a tendering process per initiative as soon as the budget becomes available.
The correct annual budget is still ₳ 27,211,304
I would like to encourage everyone to review the budget again with the updated numbers 
We will continue collecting feedback and refining the budget proposal here. You can review changes via the ‘History’ features here on Cardano Forum accessible via the 
pencil button on the top right corner of the post.
