How do I progress through the Community Reviewer levels?

For Fund12: For each previously held Proposal Assessor (PA) ID, based on the past performance of old funds, the relative percentage of valid assessments submitted that were either Excellent OR Good is a qualifying factor to determine an LV0, LV1, or LV2 Community Review level.

This parameter allows setting a minimum % of valid assessments to qualify previously held PA IDs in Fund 12. To qualify as an LV1 in Fund 12, a previously held PA ID must have completed a minimum of 30 reviews with a threshold of at least 80% valid assessments submitted from their work from F6 to F11. Additionally, active in at least 2 funds between F6 and F11 as LV0/LV1 (active means submitted at least 1 valid review). To qualify as an LV2 in Fund 12, this threshold is set at 30 reviews with at least 90% valid assessments submitted from their work from F6 to F11. Moreover, LV2 should be active in F10 and in F11 as LV0/LV1 reviewer, meaning that at least 1 valid review was submitted. In Fund 12, Cardano Ambassadors have also been invited to participate in LV2 Moderation as they have already been recognized as capable Cardano community contributors, helping encourage others to keep within the Cardano Community code of conduct.

After Fund 12, a retrospective will be held to learn how the new Community Review stage operated in practice and determine where the community participation levels can be further refined based on the data collected. This will help to determine what the starting lines and ways to progress through the levels should be for the next funding round.
