# 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
