The thesis behind Retro Funding 4 is that by leveraging quantitative metrics, badgeholders are able to more accurately express their preferences for the types of impact they want to reward, as well as make more accurate judgments on the impact delivered by individual projects. During round 4, badgeholders did not vote on individual projects.
