I recognize and appreciate @crimsonclad significant contributions and the personal financial risk taken over the last six years. That level of commitment is rare and valuable.

However I am not supporting on this specific proposal due to the precedent subjective funding.

To ensure transparency, I believe this work would be better served as a Forward-Facing Operations proposal with defined milestones.

Maybe moving from a retrospective lump sum to a project based model with clear KPIs would allow the community to support this work in a way that is measurable.
