Hello beautiful soul,
And just like that, two weeks of diligent work from our Community Reviewers are complete. A sincere thank you to all the souls who have participated so far. Your effort has been nothing short of incredible.
Here are some highlights from the first two weeks:
- 779 Proposers
- 1,643 Proposals (pre-moderation)
- 3,841 Actively subscribed Community Reviewers (CRs)
- 3,599 CRs who submitted at least one review (94% activation)
- L0s: 3,312
- L1s: 287
- 84,575 Total reviews submitted (pre-moderation)
So, what happens now that Community Review Stage 1 has concluded?
Next, our senior community members will moderate all submitted reviews, checking them for adherence to policy and guidelines. This process will determine which reviews are used to calculate the final scores for each proposal based on its Impact, Capability/Feasibility, and Value for Money (rated 1-5). This is expected to take place between Sep 10 - Sep 17.
We’re also looking for your input! Our team has sent feedback forms to Proposers and Reviewers. If you participated, please check your inbox and help us improve the experience for everyone.
Finally, the moderation pilot bounty has also closed. The team is diligently reviewing the outcomes and will produce the final set of moderated results before proposals make it to the voting ballot. For more details, check out this quick refresher on the Fund14 moderation bounty pilot.
Wishing you a great week ahead.
