<p>So I managed to find a youtube Video by IOHK that describes everything in detail. This one video should be everything you need other than the GitHub repo it mentions.</p>

<p>I have not gotten <a href="https://github.com/cardano-foundation/CIPs/pull/218" rel="nofollow noreferrer">our CIP</a> accepted (yet), but I suppose following the CIP process (CIP-1), being clear on the motivation, rationale, specification and rigorous in the overall analysis, plus laying out a plan should be a good start.

<p>To complete <a href="https://cardano.stackexchange.com/a/7471/705">@Sebastian Nagel</a>'s answer, I would suggest to read CIP-0001 and in particular the section titled <a href="https://github.com/cardano-foundation/CIPs/tree/master/CIP-0001#how-to-champion-a-cip-beyond-draft--progression-to-active-status" rel="nofollow noreferrer">&quot;How to champion a CIP beyond Draft / Progression to Active status&quot;</a>.</p>

I am finding the current state of Plutus is not suitable for my purposes, as such I wish to make a CIP.

How do I make the CIP?
What should I do to optimise the CIP and maximise the chances of it being accepted?

I have not gotten [our CIP](https://github.com/cardano-foundation/CIPs/pull/218) accepted (yet), but I suppose following the CIP process (CIP-1), being clear on the motivation, rationale, specification and rigorous in the overall analysis, plus laying out a plan should be a good start. From there, the CIP editors and others from the community would review & request clarifications.

There is even [CIP-35](https://github.com/cardano-foundation/CIPs/pull/215) currently in flight, proposed by the plutus team themselves, on how to evolve & propose changes to plutus in various dimensions!
