Ideascale Project Scope

The DLT360 Risk and Opportunity Radar is structured into 4 main dimensions:

1. PSL (Politics/Social/Legal) and Governance
2. EHER (Environment/Health/Ethics/Reputation)
3. E (Economy/Business)
4. T (Technology)

Behind these 4 dimensions are dedicated teams, who are researching the market, actively establishing a cooperation network, conducting weekly or 2-weekly meetings, quality assuring new RADAR content, guiding the updating or our RADAR tool, identifying information gaps, triggering our contributor.network for closing these gaps and delivering the quarterly DLT360 video-reporting This proposal is specifically about the general efforts of our Technology teams during Q3 of 2022. The Technology teams look at all major aspects around open Source Management, Interoperability, Decentralisation, Scalability, Security, Availability/Usage and Costs.

Cost Structure

Based on our listed key-activities and key-resources, we plan with the following costs (please note that we are in progress of setting up a formal company body and need to calculate with taxation according to applicable law):

• Overall project management, updates on MIRO (20 hours for USD 50/h) = USD 1.000,00
• Communication, social media and back-office support (20 hours for USD 25/h) = USD 500,00
• RADAR tool content management (40 hours for USD 25/h) = USD 1.000,00
• Weekly team meetings with Radar-content review (32 hours for USD 100/h, 60 hours for USD 30/h) = USD 5.000,00
• Other meetings, workshops, collaboration efforts and events = USD 1.000,00
• Updating literature-review & screening new content ( 40 hours for USD 50/h) = USD 2.000,00
• Quality checking by senior domain experts (20 hours for USD 100/h) = USD 2.000,00
• Quarterly reporting storybook and video production & production support (40 hours for USD 50/h) = USD 2.000,00
• Domain experts quarterly video shooting, including pre and after-work = USD 5.500,00
• Active content sharing by domain experts (32 hours for USD 100/h, 60 hours for USD 30/h) = USD 5.000,00

Roadmap, Milestones and Deliverables

This proposal is asking for funding the work of the DLT360 Technology Team of the Risk & Opportunity Radar during Q3 of 2022. This project requires the following specific key-activities - all during Q3 / 2022:

• Weekly internal meetings (typically 2 hours meetings)
• Reviewing and quality checking of inputs from junior contributor-network
• Contributing domain-expert inputs
• Participating in related meetings, workshops and events (inside and outside Cardano community)
• Active efforts to integrate other projects and cooperation-partners
• Preparing and quality-checking the quarterly reporting content in the E-Radar dimension
• Active role in DLT360 quarterly roundtrip-reporting video
• Active role in sharing the content during the current quarter

KPI Progress and Success Measurement

• KPI 1: Size of active contributor network (number).
• KPI 2: Number of partners and interacting projects / initiatives (number).
• KPI 3: Progress of activities as outlined above (0-100%)
• KPI 4: New content-elements created (number)
• KPI 5: Performance feedback from Cardano Community (NPS = Net Promoter Score)

Updated Definition of Done

In spring 2022, while starting with this (and other) projects, we found out that focusing merely on a Risks and Opportunity Radar based on a third-party SaaS tool (Itonics) will not be sufficient for our ambitious and scalable business idea. We therefore decided to make a big redesign of our approach, going through the following activities:

• Deep review of our business model(s) (see MIRO Boards)
• Summarizing results in our DLT360 Whitepaper (see DLT360 Website)
• Updated conception of the DLT360 Website as the main delivery channel for our products & services (see DLT360 Website)
• Implementing our new and open tool-stack and work-processes based on GitHub, OBSIDIAN, ZOTERO
• Basic conception of a DLT360 NAVIGATOR as the major core-tool for supporting structured knowledge management
• Basic conception of how to integrate a new form of DLT360 Risk & Opportunity Radar and a DLT360 News Radar
• MVP development of the DLT360 Website
• MVP Development of the DLT360 NAVIGATOR
• Structuring the future workstreams (Technology, Economy/Business, Legal, ESG and Politics)
• Staring with content-creation (in one larger team during 2022 for securing interdisciplinary nature in the beginning - we will split into specialized workstream-teams in 2023)
• Populating the Technology Elements of the DLT360 NAVIGATOR with MVP content
• Quality checking of the content
• Due to the much bigger effort for getting to this new and sustainable foundation, the publishing part is no longer part of this project (we decided to focus on completeness and quality first, before scaling up and triggering PR activities)

The following (slightly modified) KPI are the basis of our Definition of Done:

• KPI 1: Size of active contributor network: We reached a core-team size of 4 and about 10 regular contributors

• KPI 2: Number of partners and interacting projects / initiatives: We started to partner up with 5 other projects

• KPI 3: Progress of activities as outlined above: 100% as per updated list above

• KPI 4: New content-elements created: Basic MVP content in the technology part of the DLT360 NAVIGATOR created

• KPI 5: Performance feedback from Cardano Community (NPS = Net Promoter Score) - pending (will be done in regular cadance after releasing the DLT360 Navigator and after starting with community building.

• Deliverables per milestone (new IOG compliance)

Milestone Plan

• Was not applied, since this was a Fund 8 project.

Project Status:

• Still in progress

On track?:

• No

Why not on track?

• As described in earlier reports, we decided to halt all our content-creation in June
  2022 (also this project) for completely relaunching our DLT360 teams, work-processes
  and tools. We did this for making sure that our foundations are strong enough for
  supporting the rather big, complex and inter-disciplinary activities we are establishing.
  We complete this re-launch now by end of September (we can say: 'we lost one
  quarter', but we are very happy with the archived results when looking into the midand
  longer term future). Happy to share this in more detail soon.

Expected Completion

• In the next 3 months

Work Details

1. As reported, we restarted our content-related work by beginning of September
   (after focusing on our people, process and tools foundation over June to end of
   August). The biggest change was here, that we are now storing and maintaining our
   content in GitHub - very essential for our ambition to work as a large content-providing
   network in the future.
2. The Technology work stream conducts weekly meetings (and is collaborating with
   our other work streams in Regulation, ESG, Politics and Economy/Business).
3. During September, we have focused on integrating the TECHNOLOGY segment
   into our new DLT360 NAVIGATOR (Knowledge Management) and GitHub Repository
   environment.
   environment.
4. We are currently working on basic content, following a 'T-Shape approach' (first
   focusing on the basic overview, the big picture, and at the same time work on selected
   topics where we can provide a real deep-dive. In the future, we will then add more and
   more deep-dive topics, as they are needed for the DLT360 WEB3.0 Innovation
   Accelerator program.
5. The role of the TECHNOLOGY Workstream Team is to coordinate our contributors,
   review our GitHub content, quality check and release for integration into the DLT360
   NAVIGATOR
6. We expect project closeout by December 2022
