Thank you! I’m really curious to see the results. Tried to answer it in the gist of: > [@Everything that's wrong with Catalyst](https://forum.cardano.org/t/everything-thats-wrong-with-catalyst-now-with-poll/108482): > > Since there has been a lot of talk about the results of the latest Catalyst Fund9, I’m going to summarise what in my view is wrong with the Catalyst system as a whole. EDIT: [Post #33](https://forum.cardano.org/t/everything-thats-wrong-with-catalyst/108482/33) in this thread has a poll on two (meta) questions how to go on. Please click it! Thank you! Assessments are Broken Assessors could be anyone. We don’t know who the assessors are. A proposal could plant favourable assessors and if they are just smart enough, nobody, not even a vPA could really detect it. There are … I still think that the biggest problem are the assessments. Not even the “Catalyst people” believe that their star rating says anything about if a proposal should receive funding or not. The sorting of proposals by the average rating _has_ to go! In fact, it doesn’t even make sense to compute an equally weighted average between the stars for the three assessment questions. And I would still want to see the filtered out assessments, especially for the highly discussed “Turbo” proposal to really see if the problem of that assessment round was that there were no assessors who could see the massive problems with it or if there _were_ critical assessments that were filtered out. And, please, do not start another round before we have desktop voting! Ideally with the possibility to have independent voting clients that can also experiment with other recommendation mechanisms. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.cardano.org/t/fund9-feedback-your-insights-on-catalyst-are-needed/109457)._
