"A product is more than software"
Engaging honest users in the early stages (Alpha Testing & Release) of the product lifecycle is critically important to ensuring that the product start on the right foot.
Sharpe Capital released the Alpha to conduct usability tests and obtain user feedback before commercially launching the products or promoting the added value. A common mistake that many product managers make is testing just the software and not the entire user experience.
The Sharpe Platform alpha will be available for SHP token holders to use from 11th December 2017. The payments will be issued monthly, rather than quarterly. The first payment to SHP holders is scheduled for 11th January 2018 to enable Sharpe Capital to test and refine the mechanics of the payment system.
During the Alpha Release, Sharpe Capital may observe the ways in which the feature meets or does not meet each criterion. If users are capable of completing certain tasks using the platform solution, it’s an indication that the feature is successful and is ready to launch.
You can start using and earn real ETH from the Alpha platform at https://alpha.sharpe.capital/.
Here is a snapshot from the current stage of Sharpe Capital web platform:
The ‘Sentiments’ view enables users to indicate their opinion on crypto assets and stocks, earning ETH every time their prediction is in alignment with the asset’s price movement. At the end of each month, the user receives an ETH payment based on the number of correct indications, their historical accuracy, the amount of work done, and their proof-of-stake (relative proportion of SHP held).
The ‘Performance’ view shows our Trustless Ledger Service in action, sharing the performance of the funds we operate using data from the Global Sentiment Index.
