The core metric for success will be the number of essays BanklessDAO members publish. While we don't have a prior number to compare against, previous Taptive cohorts have produced anywhere from 30-70 posts.
An additional metric will be the NPS score from the offboarding survey.

In Progress
Publishing is upstream of many other goals of the cohort.
More publishing means:
- More writers learn through action (learn how to write and learn about the web3 topics they are writing about)
- More writers gain confidence in their writing and publishing ability
- More writers have the opportunity to give and receive feedback from other members (which facilitates strong connections between members)
- BanklessDAO has more member-generated content that it can use to elevate its online presence
Also, NPS is one of the best ways to measure if participants have a positive experience.

We support podcasters and podcasts aligned with the BanklessDAO mission with a way to launch and scale a top quality podcast that creates income and impact while embracing the opportunities in the web3 ecosystem. We have 3 podcasts we are working on - Bounty Hunter, Making Bank and Bankless Africa.
Tracking number of episodes published is a way to ensure consistent production to reach and develop the podcast target audience. Most if not all the podcasts will aim for a cadence of publishing weekly episodes.
Podcast download number is the most important metric to track podcast consumption. This will indicate the growth of the reach of our podcasts.

1. Launch the MVP into the BanklessDAO Discord Server
2. Receive 20 responses from projects & DAOs regarding our Governance Research

https://www.notion.so/bankless/Governator-18f3f1c0146a410cbc66a0b07bd9d26e
Once we have a product live, we can begin to measure usage KPIs like polls-created, new server installs, and total voter registrations. But until then, we are simply heads down creating the product. This season, the KPI is simply "can the MVP of this product be built".
Moreover, this project includes research. We want to discover new information about how DAOs and Projects govern themselves to understand where we can best fit our product. It could very well be that this product is before its time and the research will go towards understanding that.
