The background of Catalyst and Infrastructure contributors can be found here

Catalyst and Infrastructure contributors funding categories look to become the collaborative glue that brings together the ecosystem to work effectively together. Catalyst contributors help to maintain, analyse, develop and improve the Catalyst governance and funding process. Cardano contributors help to support, develop and analyse the developer ecosystem and node operation for Cardano.

Both Catalyst and Infrastructure contributors need an effective product development workflow. This flow includes an easy way to identify problems, assess their priority, bring in relevant information towards deciding on a solution path, tracking the progress of executing a solution and ways to measure the outcomes.

Both Catalyst and Infrastructure contributors also need an effective way to make governance decisions in which the results are made public to the community. Contributors represent the interests of the community by being paid to improve and maintain the ecosystem. Contributors would have governance decisions involving product decisions and any rapid funding distribution such as paying for more contributors and supporting existing initiatives.

This analysis on the initial infrastructure for both the product development workflow and governance for contributors will include:
