Adding some notes & questions **Core Problem** : Seems to make sense to split GWG & BD apart. Clearly focused on different parts of the [funnel](https://gov.indexcoop.com/t/q1-growth-analysis-q2-growth-strategy/1367). **Key Performance Indicators** : Echoing @LemonadeAlpha, It seems like there are some easier metrics here, that basically boil down to “# of deals closed” or however else you’d describe the most proximate output(s)- whether that is # of Tier 1 exchange listings, # of high-value defi partnerships, # of whale holders (for investor relations) **Request for funding:** - What is “contributor rewards / bounties”? Is that for the core contributors or other community members? - What does $10K for “webinars and conferences” get the Coop? Why do we believe an in-person event strategy is the right one for this 3 month period? What’s the hypothesis here? I wonder if there is a smaller way to test out this tactic before allocating $30K to it. > [@fallow8](#): > > we’d like to propose that’s how we compensate Leaders going forward.

Flagging that this ^ is not in the original Working Group vision as described here: [Laying the Rails](https://gov.indexcoop.com/t/laying-the-rails-for-working-groups-wg-v1/975). --- _[View the full topic](https://gov.indexcoop.com/t/proposing-a-business-development-working-group/1384)._
