👪 Community Spotlight.
It’s a dog-eat-dog world out there… but not on Braintrust.

When they’re not catching up with amazing Braintrust Talent like ^, the Community team is working on:

- Recruiting new community screeners to help vet new Talent on the platform (interested in taking on this role? Email talent-team@usebraintrust.com)
🏛️ Network Infrastructure.
Not everyone is a blockchain expert. So how do you make blockchain voting (the process by which Braintrust users can make their voices heard and exercise their control over how the network grows and operates) accessible to non-blockchain-experts?
With simple steps and a spiffy design (all the designers on the platform give a cheer!). Enter the 4 Phases of Governance, as will be viewable on the upcoming Governance website page!
How Governance works in 4 steps.
That page is almost ready to go live, and while Infra puts the finishing touches on it, they’re also working on:
- Putting V1 of the Knowledge Base into production (knowledge is power. So are FAQ docs)
- Crushing the goals for migrating the Talent Slack over to Discord (125% to goal, as a matter of fact)
- Building out a spec for a new public dashboard to share Braintrust growth metrics with the world (transparency all the way)

🚩 Weekly challenges and red flags.
- Braintrust is in a period of hypergrowth (did you see? 20x growth in 12 months) and it’s easy to get overwhelmed or disorganized. This week, CRO Gabe Luna-Ostaseski reminded the team it’s important to take the time to recharge amongst all this craziness and practice some self-care. Braintrust is a rocket ship, but the people building it are people, not machines.
