Context
Following the adoption of KIP-88, this proposal makes its first concrete request to the Cooperative: publish a structured, recurring breakdown of its spending. The goal is to give the DAO the baseline data it needs to formulate informed guidance.
KIP-88 established that the DAO can issue requests to the Cooperative covering ~70–80% of net spending. But the DAO currently has no shared reference point to formulate meaningful requests.
Specification
Within 4 weeks of this proposal passing, the DAO requests that the Cooperative publish a best-effort spending breakdown of the last 4 quarters (12 months):
-
By category: salaries/personnel, R&D, business development, infrastructure, legal/admin, marketing, grants given out, other
-
By project / product line where feasible (contractors often work across several projects, so retroactive per-project allocation stays best-effort)
-
By role bucket for personnel costs (aggregate, not individualized)
Going forward, this breakdown should be included as a recurring section in the following monthly reports.
