2 Canton design patterns for dev fund.

Problem. Dev Fund inbox routinely receives near-duplicate proposals (LocalNet tooling, validator runbooks, wallet abstractions).

Solution. Run detect_builder_overlap(idea) before drafting. Returns scored matches across 410+ proposals AND 458 ecosystem projects.

Self-grade a Dev Fund proposal draft

Problem. Approval depends on milestone clarity, named deliverables, and scope realism. Easy to miss in a first draft.

Solution. proposal_success_predictor(draft_text) walks a ten-point checklist (milestones, deliverables, sources, length, Apache 2.0…) and scores the draft. Aim for ≥80%.
