While we agree that it is quite important to do an UX research and design, the quote for this type of work that was provided is puzzling to say the least. Just to see if it has something to do with reality we've contacted Lebedev design studio https://www.artlebedev.ru/ who are the top design studio in Russia with hundreds of projects for top banks in Russia and worldwide and got a quote from them.
We've got their reply (which is in Russian, but they are willing to provide another one in English) their quote is 3 times lower than the one that Scorum team provided, and as they have a lot of experience in UX design we are sure it is much more grounded in reality. After researching Bitshares they are interested in proceeding with this via payment through worker proposal. If the community response is positive, they will proceed with creating a worker proposal. I'd like to include a little bit about this topic during the talk as well.
