Today we have almost two years of live on-chain governance. We have real data now. The proposal itself identifies 49 existing efforts and research initiatives. It asks for ₳4.21 million and another twelve months of research, workshops, reports, dashboards, simulations, and framework building. Only one controlled pilot is planned, and even that starts halfway through the project.\n\nThis feels overly bureaucratic. We already had workshops. We already had reports. We had a Constitutional Convention. We already studied many of these questions. It is time to make a move. Maybe smaller experiments. Maybe test real incentive models. Measure what happens. Learn quickly. Adjust. Repeat.\n\nWe should not spend another year studying how governance incentives might work. We should start testing how they actually work. I also question whether ₳4.21 million is a wise use of Treasury funds here. There are many deliverables, but I do not see enough confidence that they will produce a materially better incentive system.\n\nWe might all agree in dozens of workshops that a system looks good. It might still fail in the real world. That is exactly why I would rather fund smaller, faster experiments first. At this price, producing another consensus is not enough."}}
