# Overview

There are a number of issues with the current [challenge setting process](https://docs.catalystcontributors.org/funding-categorisation-analysis-1/challenge-settings/challenge-setting-process) used in the Catalyst ecosystem. In this documentation you will find a break down of the current process, analysis on different ways to do categorisation, which attributes are preferable and more effective and suggestions towards an improved funding categorisation approach.
