Challenge KPIs and how the project addressed them
The main objective of the F7 Scale-UP Cardano’s Community Hubs Challenge was how to “encourage Local Community Hubs to drive adoption and awareness of Cardano in the next 6 months?”
The Challenge’s KPIs or key metrics to measure included :
How many new Hubs were launched in the next 6 months?
How many developers did this community-focused challenge bring into the Cardano ecosystem?
How many new users of Cardano were onboarded?
What was the total reach of the Hub's initial marketing launch?
How many external organizations did this community-focused challenge bring into the Cardano ecosystem?
Building a foundation for Catalyst Coordinators
The Catalyst Coordinator Hub GitBook laid the foundation for the subsequent Funded Proposer Sub-Circle (detailed in this report - link) that launched in May 2022. This met the Challenge KPI of launching a community Hub.
A Collaborative layer
Between its inception in November 2021 and completion in May 2022 the Catalyst Coordinator Hub GitBook provided a collaborative layer to answer FAQ questions, leave feedback and raise issues.
The Catalyst Coordinator Circle Rep used the GitBook platform to collate a FAQ (https://quality-assurance-dao.gitbook.io/funded-proposers-hub/information/faq) and guidance on proposal reporting (https://quality-assurance-dao.gitbook.io/funded-proposers-hub/reporting/reporting).
Collating Community Issues
Between November and December 2021 the Catalyst Coordinator Circle Representative trailed a Catalyst-Coordinator-Feedback process to capture proposer concerns as GitHub issues.
This was later documented on the GitBook as part of the Fund 7 Catalyst Coordinator Hub proposal.
This process was part of Catalyst Circle V2 problem sensing as defined in CCv1 “Maintain an agile backlog list to track issues between meetings.” and built on Catalyst Circle tracking started by QADAO
