# June User Interview Questions

## Validation goals
- Interest individual contributor v dao tooling features
- if we interview contributors, they may be biased toward individual contributor tooling while dao core may be biased toward dao tooling features
- Interest in tipping
- validation of:
- pain point
- urgency
- incentive
- desired reward
- desired user experience

## Question Clusters

### Is lack of reward a pain point?

### How would reward influence contribution patterns?

What I want to know:
- Would the quality or quantity of contributions increase with reward?
- Would you feel better? (satisfaction)
- Would you contribute more? (quantity)
- Would you make higher quality contributions? (quality)
- Would you spend more time documenting your contributions? (usage)
- on Govrn?

Nonleading qs:

### User behavior: request tips, scroll through others work, etc... -> design

recording your work
- would they mint (incentive)

interacting with others' work
- **attesting v tipping (redundant)**
- related?
- tipping without attesting
- would you tip something that you didn't directly witness, but people you trust attested to?
- attest but don't tip
- attest and tip simultaneously
- attest and tip later
- **discoverability of others / willingness to give**
- are there people in your DAO (v outside of your DAO) you'd want to tip?
- how would you find out about their work?

**requesting others to interact w your work**
- would you feel comfortable setting up receiving tips
- would you enable tipping on your profile? (v1)
- would you want some of your contributions to receive tips while others not? (v2, complex)
- how would you want others to discover your work?
- would you expect people in your DAO to tip, or others outside of the DAO?
- would you share your govrn contributions on twitter or in discord? (socially)
- would you share your govrn contributions within the app?

- **public profile**
- would you want to highlight/pin your top contributions in a profile?

Dependencies???
- profile
- sharability

## Travis

- have used/familiar w govrn?
- what communities you contribute to?
- primarily focused on daohaus (2 yrs)
- season 1 of raidguild
- member of so many daos, active participant of fewer
- time and money is a blocker
- raidbrood
- bootleggers dao
- this is the only way they currently get money; building custom solutions for clients
- daohaus ran out of money in nov so they're not getting paid
- so much work - wishes he got paid for it more!
- working 50-60 hrs/ week and not getting all your bills paid
- the problem really is that the daos don't have the treasury, not that they don't know how to distribute the money
- he just wants to be able to pay his bills
- biggest pain points in being sustainable?
- is lack of reward/recognition a pain point?
- reward influence contribution behavior?
- interacting with others' work & having others interact with your work
- discoverability
- social v in app sharing
- inside dao v outside dao

if I'm tipping someone, would it come out of my personal funds?
- I wouldn't be able to provide meaningful incentives to my friends
- unless it's in shit tokens that have no value
- what's the point of tipping someone a raid token (that has not value)
- loves the idea of tipping
- loves that collabland was doing this

would use it more for people he DOESN'T work closely with
- I appreciate this, I think what you did was valuable, and I can spare a little change
- tipping wouldn't be meaningful for his 3 person group

thinks tipping would work better in a larger group with people

they used coordinape, and it sucked because the circles were too big (20-30 people)
- didn't work with everyone every day

he'd rather tip random strangers in a discord than ppl he works closely with

maybe calling it tip
- the type of appreciation is much more meaningful in a small group where you know who's doing what
- he appreciated genuine verbal feedback from travis to a tip

likes giving appreciation to someone who goes above and beyond

and not calling it tipping
buy me a coffee is also weird to him

he only thinks of tipping if he's already paying for a service and then wants to give them extra on top

doesn't seem natural

would prefer to receive money from a dao treasury to individuals in a peer to peer system
- until that is there, there's no cake so icing on the cake doesn't matter
- baseline
- consistent dao treasury money
- could be bounties but he does prefer consistency
- this is his job, even though he doesn't really get paid to do it
- it's how he's putting food on the table

voting power based on appreciation
earning your vote instead of earning a cup of coffee

the hardest thing about doing coordinape at the end of the month was ppl didn't fill out details on what they did
- I did 1000 things this month
- if there was a way to continuously track and then do a summary, this would make it so much easier
- getting a contributor summary
- with coordinape, it wasn't his money he was spending
- having a list of contributions would have been really helpful
- he would look at this as a report over a certain time period
- profile might have the top 3 things they're the most proud of
- seeing the day to day minutia on a high level profile view
- being able to drill into this from the profile

Kairon
- loves the granularity
- gives him more information
- unlocks
- a lower friction way to use govrn
- the most valuable part is getting people feedback and becoming one of the greats
- i see this to use a familiar interaction to sign up to a patreon or whatever, but if it becomes tied to the data it provides that is a big unlock
- doesn't
- a lot of things he did in web3 have gone to the wind
- the context of "forwarding to a grant" would be great to have, not a necessary to have

- would use this more with people further removed from him
- his close friends already jump through hoops to support him
- he wants to lower the
- people even not within your DAO
- he would be very proactive about sharing his contributions on social (targeting people )
- so far he's been using quests but loves the granularity of govrn and views it as a contender
