I appreciate both @Avantgarde and @kpk presenting their proposals for Scroll’s treasury management.

Having worked with @Avantgarde at Gitcoin where they currently manage strategic assets under [SGTM-002](https://gov.gitcoin.co/t/passed-sgtm-002-avantgarde-x-gitcoin-strategic-asset-management-for-the-matching-pool/19698), I can share some operational perspective on their capabilities. They’ve demonstrated solid execution with clear reporting, conservative risk management appropriate for DAO treasuries, and responsiveness to community feedback. They have been a good partner from my perspective and very patient with us as we worked through the proposal process with them over a number of months.

A few observations on the proposals:

- **Fee Structure Considerations:** The difference between flat performance fees versus management + performance fees represents different alignments. Both have merit depending on the DAO’s priorities.
- **Implementation Approach:** Avantgarde’s phased rollout plan addresses the complexity concern - starting with treasury goals/KPIs alignment before moving to active management seems prudent given this is Scroll’s first treasury management initiative.
- **Reporting Standards:** Both providers bring strong reporting capabilities, though I’d suggest the selected provider commit to monthly touchpoints during initial implementation, not just quarterly reports.

I agree with @SEEDGov that this discussion has matured enough to move toward a voting cycle. The proposals are substantively different enough that delegates can make an informed choice based on their priorities for fee structure, implementation approach, and risk management philosophy.
