Round Eliminated Winners
Round 1
Round 2 CAs are limited in their participantion as proposers because of a perceived or real bias
Proposals (especially the technical ones) can be difficult to evaluate by CAs without an adequate background
The current vCA consensus model is too strict, preventing sometimes to reach a decision
Proposers are unhappy because their comments are not used by the vCAs during assess-QA stage.
Currently there is no opportunity to test different assessment processes.
Round 3 The only official task of CAs is to assess proposals, although they are informally required to do more than that (improve the system, assist proposers, etc.)
There are no requirements to be a CA, and very low requirements to be a vCA.
There is no clear way or tool for the community to vote and make decisions about the Catalyst process.
The CA-vCA processes are designed by people who know the system, but lack technical background to make improvements based on science and research (professionals).
Round 4 Corruption of CAs
Wording or instructions related to challenge alignment assessment are not clear about how CAs should take this into consideration when providing a score.
The number of assessments (made by CAs) and especially reviews (made by vCAs) is low, in general.
CAs and vCAs rewarding system does not incentivize higher assessments quality (CAs) or higher number of assessment reviews (vCAs).
Round 5 IdeaScale allows any proposer to add anyone as a co-proposer, which blocks that from person being a CA-vCA in that Fund.
Current assessment process leave loopholes for subjectivity, therefore bias, which is not ideal when there are few CAs-vCAs involved.
There is no reputation-merit system for CAs-vCA, and CAs-vCAs ratings are all weighted in the same way.
