### Discussion

This Signal Request asks the community whether they would prefer Core Unit budgets to be subject to a broad-based cut (i.e. a flat % cut to all budgets) or a tactical re-allocation process. 

A broad-based cut will decrease all CU budgets equally. The % value of a broad-based cut is not specified in this proposal.

The tactical reallocation process is outlined above. It seeks to achieve consensus between CUs, delegates, and MKR holders through a developed framework that will propose KPIs for CUs while taking a holistic view of the DAO's expenses.
