Thanks @steakhouse for the proposal. It’s exciting to continuously support the GOOSE and reGOOSE goals with funding by the DAO!

We have reviewed the st2024 v2 budget proposal and have a little concerns regarding the significant variances between budgeted and actual expenditures in previous proposals.

- [Nov 2022 - Mar 2023](https://research.lido.fi/t/lido-v2-may-1-2023-december-31-2023-lido-ongoing-grant-request/4476) around $3.6M variance
- [May 2023 - Dec 2023](https://research.lido.fi/t/egg-st2024-v1-lido-contributors-group-request-for-grant-funding-to-advance-goose-goals/6054#:~:text=The%20Lido%20v2%20budget,approved%20earlier%20this%20year.) around $8.0M variance
- [Jan 2024 - June 2024](https://research.lido.fi/t/egg-st2024-v2-continuity-grant-funding-to-achieve-goose-goals/7697#:~:text=In%20line%20with%20recurring%20underspends%2C%20the%20st2024%20v1%20EGG%20has%20a%20positive%20variance%20of%20ca.%20%2412m.%20This%20excludes%20the%20last%20half%20of%20May%20and%20the%20month%20of%20June%2C%20but%20do%20not%20expect%20significant%20grants%20in%20this%20period.) around $12.6M variance

We believe that the accuracy of budget management is important given the necessity to improve profitability in the medium to long term.

It would be great to help us understand why these variances between budget and actual expenditures have occurred and the rationale behind the amounts set in the current proposal in a little more details.
