I read some where that there was once this paleontologist who suspects that a certain area buries beneath it are tons of dinosaur bones. He is not sure (nobody can be 100% sure of such things), and neither does he has the money to hired diggers to do the physical work for him.
So, he thought of a smart idea. He placed a reward for every piece of dinosaur found and bought to him.
This is very smart. He is not paying for the work, he is only paying for the results. No risk for him whatsoever. Clearly defined KPI and motivation factors.
So what's wrong with this idea? The flaws later reveals itself.
Turns out there were in fact buried bones in the area. But the people who finds them breaks them into smaller pieces in order to maximize their profit.
Bad news for the paleontologist.
