Compile Core Venture Inputs and Governance Evidence
Audit existing venture assets, user terms, algorithmic policies, data handling processes, and team operating agreements to baseline current practice against ethical standards. The founder gathers empirical inputs, feedback, and regulatory guidelines to inform the ethical evaluation.
Gathering these inputs roots the ethical evaluation in verifiable operational reality rather than aspirational intentions. It ensures the final task outputs rely on concrete evidence, allowing the founder to spot vulnerabilities before external auditors or partners do.
A curated evidence pack comprising current data flow diagrams, user consent workflows, supplier codes of conduct, and existing governance policies. The founder must document specific operational areas where empirical evidence of ethical compliance is currently missing.
