It has been a while since Gitcoin DAO and the public good defendoors have recognized the importance and necessity of developing tools that automate grant reviews.

🎯Our mission is to develop a Grant Review Dashboard that partly(if not entirely) automates the review of grant applications for all the Gitcoin rounds. Round owners, grant creators and all parties involved in the distribution of public goods will benefit from it.

The Grant Review Dashboard will help round owners save time/resources, it help grant creators by enabling a even more efficient capital allocation in the Gitcoin rounds and it will assist Gitcoin DAO contributors in their day-by-day operations before/during/after the rounds.

How does it work?

The open source dashboard aims to automatically screens grant applications by using existing Lego’s and by also creating and validating new ones. The project aims to build a modular, configurable open source dashboard that will assist round owners in automatically screening grant applications by detecting and investigating various signals such as:

-social signals(example: twitter followers imbalance compared to donations, Discord members, etc) -analyzing the website -on-chain information

We do recognize that the nature of the red team-blue team scenario that grant programs live under might imply automating grant reviews will not always work 100% and it is very likely that human reviewers will also be needed. We do hope to alleviate most of the effort required by manual reviews.
