It might make sense to trial as an add on to SFF, as a project applying in the normal way but recommenders additionally to giving a utility function over money also supply a distribution over researchers they trust to shape the seed set?
I think I can get the parts of this other than the recommenders supply seed trust part built for free in partnership with some of the devs I know, maybe with the support of a startup I advise. Probably we’d want to make the outputs of the current allocation system transparent to the funders too somehow?
If this is something you’re excited enough about to want to integrate more tightly, I’d be happy to work with you to get it planned out.
Wrote up the EigenTrust Individual Grants Recommender Sketch, sorry for delay. Keen to talk it over if you’ve got questions.
