Hey @bunnybooboo Any tips on improving this proposal to be better?

[bunnybooboo]

Thanks for this technical proposal @sims143. We're taking a rather exhaustive process in deliberating as a team the whole month. It's a little early for us to feedback just yet. Thanks for making yourself available for contact, but please hold onto your patience a little longer. Best of luck!
