They saw it as having potential problems when tied to the tool, as it may create issues. However, they recognized the attractiveness of creating a reputation system within regular utilization of the coordinate system. + Baseline compensation and performance: + There was a discussion about two possible structures. One approach suggested that everyone receives the same baseline compensation based on stock performance and meeting milestones. Anything beyond that baseline would be ignored or acknowledged separately. This approach seemed to be in contrast with the current system of allocating give based on perceived performance, where every bit of value is identified via coordinate. + Holistic reputation system: + The alternative approach discussed involved a more holistic reputation system, where the entire value delivery is considered. This approach may be more challenging to implement and prevent gamification, but it could generate more nuanced and valuable data. The concern was raised about ensuring that participants are not influenced by monetary reasons or hesitant to provide honest feedback or engage in debates.
