Sector Expert Review Board

Critically test the quality, consistency and readiness of Sector Expert Review Board. The objective is to remove ambiguity around board pack, KPIs, decisions, risks and governance cadence, give the founder a decision-ready output, and make it clear whether the venture should progress, repeat the task with stronger evidence, escalate to expert support, or move into a linked stage.

Bertie or a programme manager assigns Sector Expert Review Board when the venture needs a decision-ready output for this group. Typical triggers include group-gate reviews, evidence gaps identified by the co-pilot or founder request.

1. 1Assemble Board Materials and Historical Evidenceexpand_more

   Gather the current board pack, recent meeting minutes, operational KPI dashboards, key decision logs, and active risk registers into a centralised review space. Compile supporting empirical evidence for recent strategic choices alongside historical governance records to establish a complete baseline.

   Objective

   Completing this action consolidates all pertinent governance documents into a single, accessible location for rigorous evaluation. This creates a transparent baseline for the expert board review, ensuring subsequent assessments rely on complete operational facts rather than fragmented information.

   What's expected

   The founder must provide a comprehensive, fully organised board dossier containing the latest board pack, KPI dashboard, risk register, and documented decisions. All documents must be current, cross-referenced with empirical baseline data, and ready for critical interrogation.
