Until the FreeTON community has a proper marketing and PR department available, there is a risk that it will not be an effective investment. And not because CT does not do its job properly, but because we have a bottleneck in the form of a lack of staff. Personnel who are ready and at the same time competent enough to write technical articles, deliver expertise and take part in AMA sessions must be declared in front of this partnership.
In these circumstances, I propose to combine the best practices from predictive and adaptive project management. Let’s combine the advantages of a classical roadmap with the flexible logic as we know it from agile software development.
The main idea is: we divide the entire partnership project into the so-called iterations. There are 26 iterations in total, two weeks each. The total amount is also splitted into 26 pieces, let say 250,000 TONs each to reward CT for each successfully closed iteration post factum. The whole budget (26 x 250,000 + rewards for 1 x project manager, 11 x auditors and 5 FreeTON experts, additional costs for token distribution to CT users e.g. in form of a game or quiz) is predefined and hold on the project account address for pick up.
To give you an idea, how it looks like:
Roadmap.
-
Creation of a voting-ready / governance-friendly counter proposal for CT. Voting. Done by FreeTON community.
-
Initial preparations. Creating communication channels with CT.
-
Optional. FreeTON advertising banner published for 3 days free of charge as a sign of seriousness of CT’s intentions.
-
Iteration #1. Statement of partnership published in short article on CT platform (done by CT staff, rewarded immediately with 250,000 TON crystals as soon as more then 50% of FreeTON audit staff confirms #1 as successfully passed - the same principle in every further iteration).
-
Iteration #2. Intro. FreeTON introduction in short article on CT platform (done by CT staff).

… -
Iteration #23. Message addressed to high ranked digital exchanges with appeal to list FreeTON on their platforms, if not already done.
… -
Iteration #26. Final iteration. Conclusion. Good-luck-article published on CT platform.
I’m ready to develop this idea and to transform it to counter-proposal for CT, if community request for doing so is here and if Mr. Omer Dede (@OmerDede) is interested in a counter-proposal at all. Give a like to this post if we should proceed in that way.
