Hello @Nmarshall,

I think your proposal is missing details on Nishaun's track record so far. It's claimed that he's a rising star, but as someone who is completely unfamiliar with this field, I can't find any evidence in the proposal to back this claim. There should have been a substantial "Who is Nishaun Marshall" section in my opinion.

In summary:

• I don't find the asked amount too high.
• I don't think Polkadot treasury should sponsor everything listed in the proposal.
• It may or may not provide good return on investment, not enough evidence in the proposal, just some suggestions.
• At the given scale, it may be a good experiment for precedence purposes.
• So, I don't feel strongly either way.

I abstain.
