Introducing Vote with Reason
Time to expand GovScore! After returning to the drawing board and evaluating our goals and feedback, we discovered 2 things:
- First, we like where the score is, but we think increasing the complexity can meaningfully improve the signal
- And second, of the available data, vote with reason stood out as the most impactful indicator to add right now
While voting technically shows a directional preference, we think delegates are not doing the most they can in stating an opinion unless they defend their position. This also does more to avoid situations where delegates simply follow the crowd. We think, in every case, having a written thought process should be standard.
For the rollout of this feature, we’re attributing voting with reason on the most recent 10 proposals a weight of 10%, and we’re decreasing normal voting from 50% to 40% to make room.
We are making various tweaks and bug fixes before announcing this change on socials.
