Brief Table setting - I’m putting on my “Funding Council” hat to pose questions (See [Q4 Working Group Guidance](https://gov.indexcoop.com/t/q4-working-group-guidance/2743) to learn more about Working Group proposals) - My intent is to ask the questions that ping in my mind with the hope that they help the entire Coop better understand the proposal and thinking behind it. - Questions are pretty much posed in the order the topic appears in the post - If a question doesn’t make sense or is entirely off-base, do call it out 🙂 * * * > [@Monportefeuille](#): > > While iRobot is approaching DG2, a window of opportunity has opened to implement a 1st batch of changes for Index Coop to expand its internal methodologist capabilities. Noting that some version of the question, “why is the Working Group structure the right one for bootstrapping growth of a new product?” has already been posed and that respectful discussion is ongoing, Instead, the question I’ll add to (hopefully) help sharpen the discussion is → Let’s assume that the RIWG _doesn’t_ get approved, how would impact iRobot (should it pass DG2)? > [@Monportefeuille](#): > > Leader stipend : for this 1st iteration, a 2-layer system is proposed with a fixed base stipend of $6000 / month + a variable bonus of $1000 / month per $5m AUM, capped at $10000 / month (no one-off bonus) Just clarifying questions! So if my understanding is right - $6000 per month for 1 leader - If iRobot hits the following thresholds during Q4… - $5m AUM → $1K bonus - $10m AUM → $1K bonus - $15m AUM → $1K bonus - $20m AUM → $1k bonus - Capped - $10K cap hit (6K stipend + 4K bonus) Am I getting that right? > [@Monportefeuille](#): > > What will you be doing ? On this section as a whole… How do you envision the RIWG complementing the relevant WG’s that are also focused on marketing/growth/product development/data analysis? --- _[View the full topic](https://gov.indexcoop.com/t/proposal-robot-index-working-group-riwg-temperature-check-poll-added/2705)._
