Just out of curiosity—how much time is wasted on evaluating half-ass’ed proposals?
My guess is not much at current margins, usually clearly bad things are rejected quickly. If someone who we’d otherwise fund sends a half-assed proposal, usually we can figure that out pretty quickly and ask them to elaborate.
Sometimes they’re resentful if you reject them (though this depends on community and is probably highly asymmetric).
Yeah that makes sense. I think this is mostly fine.
