- User Adoption and Community Engagement:
At least 100 unique users onboarded within the first three months of launch.
Feedback collected through surveys or interviews to inform iterative improvements.
- Sustainability and Ecosystem Integration:
A clear roadmap and governance plan published to guide ongoing development beyond the grant period.
Q4 Evaluation Factor – Measurable
Here’s a version of your milestone section that meets Lanzer’s criteria:
Milestones and Payment Structure
- Milestone 1: Project Setup and Initial Deliverables (30%)
Complete team onboarding and assign responsibilities
Finalize detailed project plan with timelines and deliverables
Deliver initial prototypes or baseline assessments (if applicable)
- Milestone 2: Midpoint Progress and Key Outputs (40%)
Achieve major technical or operational development targets
Provide interim report including progress metrics and challenges
Demonstrate working versions or outputs of core components
- Milestone 3: Final Implementation and Reporting (30%)
Deliver final product or service as defined in grant outcomes
Submit final report with outcome data, lessons learned, and sustainability plan

Total Payment Allocation: 30% + 40% + 30% = 100% .

Q6 Evaluation Factor – Realistic
"1. Watch the Timestamp (29:54–31:00)
This segment likely highlights Sandbox’s goals, priorities, or impact expectations. Listen for mentions of:
Ecosystem growth
Creator and player engagement
Technical innovations
Community development
Alignment with Sandbox’s purpose (e.g. metaverse ownership, gaming experiences)
- Match Claimed Impacts Against These Points
Does the grant show clear, logical alignment with the goals outlined in the video?
Are the impacts tangible and measurable (e.g. number of users onboarded, new experiences created, land sales, avatar/item use)?
Are any impacts vague or disconnected from Sandbox’s core purpose?
- Evaluate for Clarity
If the claimed impacts aren’t directly supported by the video segment, does the grant author explain how they still connect to Sandbox in a meaningful and plausible way?
Are these explanations clear and well-reasoned, or do they rely on assumptions?
"
Q7 Evaluation Factor – Timely
- Does the timeline end by August 30th (SGDP program deadline)?
Are all deliverables, launches, or milestones clearly scheduled to complete by or before August 30, 2025?
If any items go beyond this date, does the grant justify why and how it will still benefit Sandbox or the SGDP?
- Is the timeline clearly laid out?
Does the proposal include a calendar-based schedule, phases, or roadmap?
Are dates specific (e.g. “July 15: Beta launch”) or vague (e.g. “Q3 tasks”)?
- Are timelines tied to measurable milestones?
For each phase or date, is there a clear, tangible deliverable (e.g. “Playable experience ready,” “5,000 users onboarded”)?
Are milestones realistic and achievable given the team size and scope?
- Red Flags to Note:
Missing dates or fuzzy time ranges
Deliverables that cluster too close to the deadline
Q8 Evaluation Factor – Disclosure
- Are the disclosed persons findable online?
Check for transparency: Do the names link to verifiable LinkedIn, X (formerly Twitter), websites, or professional bios?
If names are pseudonyms, is there a clear trail to real-world identities or credible web3 profiles?
- Is their affiliation clearly stated?
Does the grant identify what organization, DAO, studio, or collective they represent?
Are there links or context (e.g., “Jane Doe, co-founder of Vox Studio [LinkedIn link]”)?
- Is how they benefit clearly explained?
Does the proposal detail what type of benefit each person or group receives (e.g. grant funding, consulting fees, token distribution, DAO voting power)?
Are amounts or percentages mentioned, or at least a general scope of benefit?
