At Builder Monastery, we understand that the true impact of innovation and collaboration often transcends quantifiable metrics and manifests in long-term ripple effects. Nonetheless, we endeavor to measure our impact in several meaningful ways:

### Innovation Through Collaboration

- **Collaborative Projects:** Tracking the number of collaborative projects initiated and their developmental milestones.
- **Post-Program Collaborations:** Monitoring ongoing collaborations and projects that originated from our program.
- **Qualitative Feedback:** Gathering participant feedback to assess the depth of collaboration and knowledge exchange.

### Economic Sustainability and Inclusion

- It’s paramount to figure out how to make BM sustainable financially while being economically inclusive. To achieve this, we will experiment with a mix of tickets and sponsorships from aligned organizations. For inclusion, we expect to provide scholarships for new talent.

### Long-Term Impact

- **Follow-ups:** Conducting surveys with members to track their professional growth and continued contribution to the field.
- **Industry Influence:** Assessing the influence of our alumni on the broader AIxCrypto and ZKML communities through publications, talks, and thought leadership.

### Long-Term Economic and Social Enhancement

The project's presence promises to yield lasting benefits, including increased tech tourism and business opportunities, thereby contributing significantly to the town's economic and social development.

### Local Crypto Adoption

Builder Monastery aims to help with the ongoing transformation of the host town into a hub for digital literacy and crypto adoption. We plan to onboard local businesses to receive payments in crypto.

By encompassing these additional metrics, Builder Monastery aims to foster innovation and collaboration and enrich the Zuzalu community with new perspectives, skills, and interdisciplinary synergies.

These metrics, though challenging to quantify, provide a comprehensive view of our impact, focusing on the core objectives of fostering innovation through collaboration and onboarding new talent.
