Questions
What is the minimum proof of contribution that makes a crew member feel fairly seen — and is that verifiable on-chain?
- Which dependency — USER-001 (reputation) or AI-002 (matching) — has more leverage on crew formation quality?
- If COLB-002 went down during active project coordination, what breaks first — tracking or trust?
- At what crew size does the contribution verification become the primary reason people join vs the project itself?
