It's important to know the timeline.
Probably paying someone to be a member of the wikipedian community would
produce more *statistical impact* in short time but less *real impact*
in longtime.
The problem is to know if the aim is to have numbers or to have a real
and lontime impact.

WMDE is continuing its expensive community support work that has not
demonstrated past impact and in its current design does not seem
likely to generate significant future impact commensurate with costs.
WMDE's budget is disproportionally focused on its community support
program, which does not have commensurate impact.
