# Retro Grant AI Pre-Screen — Livepeer Workflow Kit

**Applicant:** shane  
**Application:** [Livepeer Workflow Kit](https://forum.livepeer.org/t/livepeer-workflow-kit/3271/1) — Retroactive Grant Applications  
**Amount requested:** $5,000 USD-equivalent in LPT  
**Screened against:** Network Engineering SPE — [Retro Grants Funding Process (rubric + execution standards)](https://app.notion.com/p/47586628153e43f99cf411935c9ab010)

* * *

## Verdict

**✅ READY FOR REVIEW — Recommend APPROVE**

The application clears every gate (scope, shipped & reviewable, community proof point) and triggers no Decline or Return condition. Under the rubric’s impact matrix it maps to **high importance × narrow confirmed reach → Approve**. It is good-faith, substantive, in-scope work with a validated first integration.

## Rubric scorecard

| Criterion | Result | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Scope** (3 eligible areas) | ✅ Pass | Fits _Developers / 5-Minute API_ (agentic harness tooling, onboarding scaffolding) and _Orchestrators / Tooling & Infrastructure_ (two reusable runners) |
| **Shipped & reviewable** | ✅ Pass (with caveat) | Open-source Apache-2.0 repos; runners live in the Open Clearinghouse catalog; direct links valid. ⚠ Applicant repeatedly frames it as a “PoC,” which sits in tension with the “complete, not proof-of-concept” execution standard |
| **Community proof point** (required) | ✅ Met | Three watercooler demos, the Foundation roadmap session, and Mike Zupper’s public positive signal |
| **Impact — importance of need** | 🟡 Moderate–high | Tied to a prioritized roadmap item (agentic workflows); first outside integration of the DAO-funded Livepeer Modules Gateway |
| **Impact — breadth already solved** | 🟡 Narrow | One builder being onboarded + the gateway operator. |
| **Quality & completeness** | ✅ Ready PoC | Runners are live and complete; the Workflow Kit framework is PoC-stage but can be leveraged by other builders. |
| **Proportionality** | 🟡 Justified High | Full $5k (the maximum) is justified given narrow confirmed breadth and community engagement |
| **Red-flag check** (AI-slop / speculative) | ✅ Clean | Substantive, good-faith, real external collaboration — not built without evidence of need |

**Matrix placement:** high importance × narrow reach → **Approve.**
