Krause House

TITLE: Funding Request to Build Operations Tooling

REWARD: 2k KRAUSE seed funding. Additional 4k KRAUSE for 5 projects still using Command Center after 3 months

WALLET: 0xD27968F4444E62D329bFdd3C423Dbed05bFdFc62

PROJECT LEADS: Mario Lopes#2725, Dogstoevsky#0585

SCOPE OF WORK:

This project will see the migration of all other Krause House projects to a custom Notion tool that will streamline information and task management.

Some key planned features will be:

• Acting as a central repository for the DAO and for each individual project
• Project management pages to help Team Leads track work and contributions
• Represent the DAO to new members, showcasing ongoing work and allowing easier onboarding

The tooling to be implemented has already been through multiple iterations, and we anticipate it going through several more. This project could span several months and could in theory never reach its success criteria (thus never unlocking the 4000 $KRAUSE reward for the team).

SUCCESS:

The success of this project can be determined by whether or not this tooling is adopted by a critical mass of teams across the DAO. If 5+ teams are using this tooling for any meaningful length of time, it can be fairly assumed that the tool it is providing value and thus was a success.

At the point of 5 projects using this tooling (for at least 3 months, or for the project’s entire duration if it is a short-term initiative), this Operations Tooling Project will be paid out 4000 $KRAUSE as a reward for its contributions to Krause House. This 4000 $KRAUSE will be divided amongst the project leads (Dogstoevsky and Mario Lopes) and any contributors who participated. If after 3 months this tooling is still in use by at least 5 projects, an additional 4000 $KRAUSE will be unlocked for this team.

DEFINITIONS:

Using

When we talk about projects “using” this tooling, we are primarily talking about housing deliverables/tasks, documents, and other information on this and regularly referring back to it. If a project is tracking their tasks in our Kanban board and assigning Credit to contributors, that’s using it. If a project is using our tooling to track documents, meeting minutes, and generally making it their central repository, that’s also meaningfully using it.

In short, we’d need to see a project either using this tooling as their main source of information management, or main source of project management, or both. Using this is not a project that has several ongoing tasks using this tooling for just 10-20% of them and keeping documents in a Google Drive. It’s also not an active project referring back to it once every 3 weeks because they just don’t need it.

Custom

We call this a custom Notion tool because of several people who have slaved away to build and test it. It’s not using fancy integrations. It’s pure vanilla Notion. It was still custom-built for Krause House and is aiming to solve problems that nothing before it could (the info and project management issues).
