Catalyst project has been home for Cardano's applications, developers and community people. Its fund is very important to help proposers turn out their ideas to real life applications.

Having a common place to provide Cardano users valuable reports, KPIs, trends and other data they need for their action is critical for project. This is cReport's mission.

cReport include a set of tool and application aim to collect data then transform to useable information, KPIs which users can use for their action.

This can be done by use the stated information in a funded proposal like: its requested fund, expect KPIs, wallet address, smart contract address to build a dataset which use for generating reports and audit proposal.

We aim to audit all funded proposals to provide user the overview of catalyst fund, products from funded proposals with various of matrix like: ROI, product performance, to result out the human understandable data like: excellent, out standing, or stopped.

The main parts of this project are:

Create a realtime report application to analyze catalyst data & generate reports at some levels
Extract data from Catalyst to init data for application
Application then works and provide reports, KPIs, assestment with realtime data.

A good example of the application use: someone needs to find the best potential tokens to invest early they then visit cReport view the best ranked products from funded proposals then view details like revenue, ROI, transactions and volume that data give them good insights to make right decisions.

Architecture

The Architecture contains backend API, frontend, database and scripts run on AWS and interact with Cardano network, IdeaScale, Github to form cReport, it includes:

Tool to query raw data from various sources: IdeaScale, Github, Cardano network.
Backend API, server logics and background jobs.
Database server to store raw and analyzed data.
Web Frontend and mobile application for Cardano users and CMS.

See our attached architecture and workflow images to have detail.

Features

Realtime valuable, specific and actionable report which help users to act at some level.
Maximum realtime feature in collect raw data this to provide user up to date information.
Simple, fast and stable application.

Functions

Generate reports for summarized proposal and fund insights: Top level report on funded proposal, allocation breakdown and assess its return into products and its impacts with some metric like network transactions, product revenue.
Assess fund and KPIs for a single proposal: released product performance: how it matched with stated KPIs, ROI can be counted by network transaction through product, revenue, smart contract calls, number of users.
Assess proposer and group proposers KPIs: which one is best in term of having success products.
Rank released products resulted from funded proposals count by some metrics like: smart contract calls, network transaction, number of users, generating revenue.
Function to input data and some tools for admin to query data from external sources.

See our attached demo screenshoots to have detail.

Users and impact

Catalyst management people who need insight data, project performance, KPIs.
Proposers they need to know the trend of Cardano applications.
Cardano developers they need to know which skills, knowledges are best to learn.
ADA holders, community people they need information about the potential of adopting Cardano applications to invest and support.

Our present with latest update:

https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1k9NDVkyPNeSqBvvSfmV8zLqC01h18GhUjBps55PngS4/edit#slide=id.g11de99c79ca_0_1148

Whether you are Catalyst management, CAs, Proposers, community people or ADA holder cReport project is always a valuable product to you.

cReport is formed by collaborating of seasoned software engineers and Catalyst CAs experts.

We aim to audit all funded proposals around all funds F1 to F7, across all challenges and go on to next funds.

cReport main function is to provide KPIs of funded proposal, summarized fund allocation and proposal’s project statistic. Maximum automatic data collecting from available sources like Cardano Network, ideaScale, github… as much as possible. This help Cardano and outside users, groups to have insights about Catalyst project performance, trend:

The rate of full fund transferred, pending fund for each proposal and total.
The rate of proposals have released products and how good product is.
The number of transaction through dAPp and smart contract address.
The number of git commits and number of attended developers.

By offering users from various domains actionable, valuable reports and KPIs that cover most mattered aspects of Catalyst project cReport highly align with given challenge KPIs and beyond shown at our attached demo screenshots.

Below challenges, risks that may block to deliver this project successfully:

The availabilities of data from catalyst that support auto fetching scripts.
Unstructured and hard copy data are difficult to parse before to standard schemas.
The limit of fund to extend product beyond the basic outlines.
The difficulties of adopting a new applications to different user groups.

Solution to solve these risks: we need combine both manual input and script base auto fetching to get raw init data and communicate out the values of projects ask help from other resources.

Q2-2022

Project planning and POC

Project outline, task breakdown and member assignment.
Setup development environment: gitHub, staging server.
Define detail system architecture and select technologies.
Develop POC to verify main logics and concepts.
Expect project to be funded and start development.

Q3-2022

Develop main project components:

Raw data collector and data parser
Database schema and data aggregation scripts.
Backend REST API and server logics.
UI/UX, frontend application for cReport admin, external users.

Functional and integration test for each of component and rebuild if need.

Integrate full application with sample data and verify the working of application to meet designs and product KPIs:

Raw data collector and data parser - parsed data must meet given expectations.
Database schema and data aggregation scripts: inserted data and the output of aggregation scripts must match design.
Backend REST API and server logics: API return exact data and perform expected logics.
UI/UX, frontend application: perform right user functions, generate reports, KPIs as designed.

Fix found bugs and refactor code to make sure everything is good to go:

Application architecture has clearly design and working well
Code is easy to maintain and extend
All functions are working properly as expectation KPIs

Deploy first version on AWS and make sure it ready to go.

Q4-2022

Pilot and delivery application

Select 10 experienced CAs who well understand Catalyst project as pilot user to have feedback, the feedback should contain:
CA is able to init data for a fund include: proposers, approved fund, wallet address … etc
The reports and KPIs meet their expectations and beyond: how many funded proposals got product went live, how many proposals are stopped, which is best potential products that resulted from Catalyst.
Once we have good feedbacks from pilot users that is time to go live that public product to massive user, everyone can have insight, value reports from cReport, they can also use tool for example view good proposal, meet good team and beyond.

We expect cReport become a central place to store processed Catalyst data provide valuable, actionable reports, KPIs, assessments that direct user to right action. This is cReport team only mission.

Total cost of project to request: 28.420$ - twenty eight thousand four hundred twenty dollars.

References

Success criteria: success KPI >=70%.

KPI >=70% means a task is done (function is developed & tested or works meet expectations), the rest 30% used for outstanding assessments for factors that surpass success criteria.

e.g a develop an API task has KPI 80% means it is DONE and code runs faster than expected.

The meaning of numbers in % indicate the percentage of completion of task use in success KPIs:

0%-70%: the task is not completed, it is 'on-working'.
70%-80%: task is completed & tested or work is done, good to go.
80%-100%: task is completed and has excellent output e.g response time faster than expected.

This proposal is a part of our focused efforts to adopt Cardano technologies into true life.

The first proposal that we have been funded in the Fund-7 is cPAY - TrustOrder Anti SpamOrder.

In this fund-8, we are submitting some more proposals that utilize the power of blockchain and smart contract to solve some existing toughest problems & create new values across some domains:

Your vote for us is a hand to help solving problems for human life, creating more value for the better world.

Let's "VOTE" for us.

Thank you!

Summary

In this month we are trying to complete the project with below tasks: - Develop background job to fetch git activities of proposal git URLs and put data into data. the data then use to rate the project activities. - Develop authentication role to CMS which requires login to perform admin tasks. and other get without login - Develop fulltext search function to all screens which allow user to search multi field in single text search box. - Develop frontend to show github commits, activities of a funded proposal. Import the rest initial proposals (fund 6 -> fund 9) to database. Note the since catalyst is not able to provide full proposal data e.g proposer email. So we have to create a fake on to meet our data base design first. This fake field is not use to other functions it just to init data. Provision server, nginx, certificate & dockers to deploy CMS, public web & api to aws servers: https://creport.bworks.app/#/login Output - API is able to fetch and collect git commits from a proposal if it is provided this use to rate the propject activities - The REST endpoint is able to alllow/deny requests from outside if it is authenticated or not for CREATE/EDIT actions, allow all get actions without authentication - user is able to use fulltext search functions in each screens to search multi fields in single text input. - user is able to use cReport web app at https://creport.bworks.app to import, edit and view the data.
