I'll dive in further and provide a more in-depth review before actually voting, but in the meantime I'd just like to share that my absolute favorite dashboard to use in the Polkadot ecosystem today is the Staking Dashboard by JKRB - the team at https://jkrb.io/. I have no affiliation with JKRB but hot dang, not only is their UI beautifully designed, but it's actually easy to use without any instructions what-so-ever. It makes Polkadot feel slick and it's exciting to log in daily to track staking earnings the way they laid it out. So why am I saying this?

I took a look at the proposed design direction you included and couldn't help but cringe a little to be honest, as it feels like a rather big downgrade in terms of design quality as well as UX and especially readability (which I understand can be fixed in time, but still). Certain things are glaringly wrong in the preview image that would never be shown by a real UI/UX design firm, even in a 'preview' image (e.g., padding/spacing that makes no sense, unreadable fonts, alignment issues, etc), so I'm naturally concerned given you are asking for nearly half a million dollars to provide governments around the world with a dashboard that needs to be well thought out and highly customizable.

With all of that said, two quick questions:

1. Can you share your team's full website and portfolio so that we can look through your previous work to get a sense of experience you have in this area, and who from your team will be leading the design direction - specifically the look and feel of the UI - moving forward?

2. Would you be willing to include the JKRB team in your budgeting and let them run with the front-end etc (assuming they were up for the task?)

None of the repositories in your delivered milestone report are accessible. Is this intended?
