Pattern I keep seeing in DAO/ecosystem grant applications: vague traction ("growing community") gets discounted by reviewers instantly. A specific number with a date — even a small one — reads as more credible than a big vague claim. Same with milestones: "build a robust integration" can't be verified later; "ship X, public repo, demo tx on testnet by [date]" can. Proportional scope + falsifiable milestones > confident-sounding prose, almost every time.
