Define the GovTech Intervention Scope
Establish the specific operational, regulatory, or procurement challenge within the public sector that this intervention addresses. Determine whether the focus is on policy alignment, navigating procurement frameworks, proving public value, or pitch readiness for civil service stakeholders.
Clarifying the task purpose ensures the venture team isolates a specific public-sector friction point rather than attempting to tackle systemic civil service complexity all at once. It aligns the team on a measurable intervention scope that directly informs the venture's go-to-market strategy for government buyers.
The founder must produce a clear, single-page scope document outlining the targeted public-sector challenge, the relevant government department or agency, and the exact decision output required. This document must explicitly state why standard commercial sales processes are insufficient for this opportunity.
