It would seem almost if not equally effective to dogfood the UX as well with a $10K allotment, making each grant 20 percent of the amount one would have allocated at 50K. (Incidentally, I like this idea as a sort of work trial for candidate grantmakers more generally.)
If a 20⁄80 real vs play money split wouldn’t elicit realistic user behavior, what are the implications of that for your other project (Manifold)?
I don’t have an opinion on anyone’s suitability as a grantmaker; I’m just not convinced dogfooding is a rationale for handing out 50K (or that code/UX quality are relevant to assessing handing out that sum).
