Summary
This proposal introduces a Grant Report Visualization Tool for GMX Governance to enhance the community’s ability to monitor and evaluate the progress of funded proposals. The tool will provide a clearer view of all grant updates, featuring detailed visualizations, real-time updates, and automated notifications integrated into the gov.gmx.io website. The goal is to deliver a streamlined view to improve oversight, accountability, and engagement.
Problem Statement
The GMX community does a solid job providing updates for funded grants. However, these updates are often scattered across various posts and channels, which can make them challenging to track over time and have a clear view of how new updates tie in to previous ones. This fragmentation creates inefficiencies in oversight, making it difficult for the community to:
- Monitor progress consistently.
- Detect delays or deviations promptly.
- Engage effectively in the grant evaluation process.
Proposed Solution
The Grant Progress Visualization Tool will streamline how updates are shared, allowing the community to easily see how new information connects with previous reports.
Key Features
- Milestone Visualization
- Dedicated visual dashboards for each grant.
- Progress bars, percentages, and milestone timelines to highlight achievements and pending tasks.
- Real-Time Updates
- Continuous updates on milestone completions and deadlines.
- Automated Alerts
- Notifications for overdue tasks or scope deviations via in-app alerts and email.
- Interactive Visuals
- Charts and graphs to show project trends and summaries, making progress easy to interpret at a glance.
