I think CoE needs to communicate a clear design filter. I propose:

- the role of the CoE is to **trailblaze** , to generate original and even crazy ideas, and guide them to a minimal pilot;
- the method is by running many small, inexpensive, easily cancellable experiments;
- following an abundance mentality. There are sufficient funds to cover reasonable out of pocket costs for 100+ projects, but long-term salary like disbursements are an invitation for hunger-games like fights.

**The key then** is if some of these pilots generate interest and benefit, it becomes Numerai’s job to **expand, resource, scale** it and overcome bottlenecks.

Making decisions become easier following the above filter:

- hell yeah for the initial incarnations of aventurine newsletter, Signals R with Liz, home5com marketplace minimal product;
- grown-past-CoE, we love it, now-let-Numerai-resource-it for ohwa
