There’s so many “grant” and “bounty” programs these days in cryptoland I have to wonder if they’re all administered well.

I found administering the summer of protocols program quite challenging and did just about ok I think. B+ perhaps. Which makes me think a lot of programs must be doing C/D/F grade admin

Using SoP as a reference, Median is probably a D, top quartile clusters around B, bottom is all F, and absolute best is probably A-

And to contextualize the lower end: there is a large number of grants programs where “doing work after getting funding” puts you in the top decile of recipients…!

Actually on that scale I’d probably put SoP as a B vs B+: there are maybe two levels “better”, especially considering scale and differing domains of grants.
