Here are key principles for research-focused governance proposals:
1. Clear ROI metrics: Define specific, measurable outcomes and how they benefit the DAO's treasury/ecosystem. Avoid vague "raise awareness" or "explore possibilities" objectives.
2. Milestone-based funding: Break funding into phases with concrete deliverables. Start small with proof-of-concept before larger commitments. This protects treasury and ensures accountability.
Remember: In today's limited treasury environment, research must demonstrate direct value creation potential, not just theoretical benefits.
