Formulate Decision Verdict and Update Venture DNA
Synthesise all review findings into a formal verdict on venture readiness: continue, repeat, pivot, escalate, or defer. Formally record the rationale, log the updated evidence status into the data room, and trigger relevant downstream tasks.
Completing this action establishes a definitive, governance-level decision on the venture's path forward based on objective sector evidence. It aligns the founder, advisory team, and investors around a transparent, evidence-backed strategy.
The founder must deliver a formal Review Note and Data Room Asset containing the final verdict, core evidence updates, risk summary, and next steps. The venture DNA must be updated to reflect the verified state of specialist compliance.
