They expressed interest in observing the tool's evolution and noted that the experiment was a critical step toward refining on-chain cancellation practices. A few voters mentioned that while the concept was promising, the user interface could benefit from additional improvements.

Dear community,
This referendum is part of the roadmap for the Treasury Guardian tool as outlined [here](https://forum.polkadot.network/t/treasury-guardianship/14145).

This referendum contains 1 scheduled payout transaction to Mr. Bill Laboon. Should our demo be successful, this scheduled spend will first be delayed and then canceled (sorry Bill) with our [tool](https://www.treasury-guardian.app/).

Our project is about allowing milestone-based payouts at scale and with this Referendum we hope to showcase how that could work. With this tool we aim to improve treasury efficiency and get more eyes and involvement into Kusama and Polkadot OpenGov.
