The redesign addresses critical communication failures in the old site by creating intuitive navigation, clarifying the DAO's value proposition, and integrating regional network states (Nigeria and Brazil). Payment structure: 80% upfront ($2,800 USDC) and 20% ($700 DEAN) vested monthly over one year to the Dean's List Nigeria Network State Multi-Sig. + +## Market Data +- **Outcome:** Passed +- **Proposer:** Dean's List Nigeria Network State Multi-Sig (36t37e9YsvSav4qoHwiLR53apSqpxnPYvenrJ4uxQeFE) +- **TWAP Pass Threshold:** $489,250 (current MCAP + 3%) +- **TWAP Fail Threshold:** $475,000 +- **Resolution:** 2025-01-03 + +## Rationale +The old website failed to communicate Dean's List DAO's core purpose, provide clear onboarding paths, or showcase services and achievements.

The detailed valuation modeling (linking website engagement to contract flow to treasury growth to token price) represents sophisticated use of conditional markets for capital deployment decisions.
