Frequently Asked Questions
How do I measure an outcome?
Define metrics before starting the INA. "Before" and "after" with clear, measurable targets.
What if I deliver the work but miss the outcome?
You've completed the INA but haven't achieved impact. Bounty is reduced accordingly.
Can one outcome come from multiple INAs?
Yes. The Bounty Protocol splits credit proportionally.
Who defines outcomes?
Leadership sets organizational outcomes. Teams and individuals define their part.
