Thank you Kevin for opening this conversation focused on what metrics this community might center in order to intentionally move toward the impact we long for.
What I love about TVF is that I understand it as a way to promote healthy economic activity — with real potential across both IRL and onchain realms. It creates a tangible flow we can orient around.
That said, this entry has inspire me to propose a complementary impact metric — one that aims to deepen coherence and sharpen strategic alignment by recognizing the often-unseen labor and engagement that makes value creation possible. Please be introduced to Weighted Effort & Added Value Exchange (WEAVE):
TL;DR: WEAVE is a metric designed to capture the human and relational capital invested in collective work — the sweat equity behind its outcomes.
It quantifies contributions like time, care, coordination, creativity, and emotional labor through peer-validated agreements on roles, commitment, and value — using CollabBerry’s teamPoints (TPs) system as a foundation.
If TVF tells us what we achieved, WEAVE tells us what it took — and who showed up to make it happen.
WEAVE supports:
- Fair recognition of effort
- More intentional capital allocation
- Collective learning about what’s working (or not) in how we collaborate
In short: WEAVE makes the invisible visible, helping communities value what truly sustains them.
Looking forward to explore how these metrics might interrelate to each other to get us to maximize efficacy and efficiency for our mission of Capital Allocation.
