Web3 / Token Stage

Complete a focused intervention that advances Web3 / Token Stage. The objective is to remove ambiguity around token utility, community, legal assumptions and protocol launch, 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 Web3 / Token Stage 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.

venture sector; domain assumptions; relevant regulation or evidence standard; product maturity; sector buyer map; specific context for token utility, community, legal assumptions and protocol launch.

1. 1Define Scope and Purpose for Web3 Integrationexpand_more

   Establish precisely why the venture requires a token economy, decentralized protocol, or Web3 architecture rather than a traditional software model. Define the explicit business problem the token solves and establish the boundaries of this stage's intervention.

   Objective

   Clarifying the purpose establishes strategic alignment on why a Web3 architecture is strictly necessary for the venture. It prevents misdirection of resources into tokenomics before verifying that decentralised mechanics add defensible value.

   What's expected

   Produce a clear rationale document detailing the strategic necessity of a token or Web3 architecture. Demonstrate clear differentiation between traditional product mechanics and the proposed tokenised incentive structure.

   1. 1.What fundamental user behaviour or platform dynamic requires a token rather than a traditional database model?
   2. 2.How does decentralisation directly improve unit economics or network effects compared to a centralised alternative?
   3. 3.Why have you chosen to address token mechanics at this specific stage of venture maturity?
   4. 4.What core assumptions are you making about user willingness to hold or transacting in your native asset?
   5. 5.If legal or regulatory friction doubles your go-to-market timeline, does the venture remain viable under this Web3 model?

6. 6Update Data Room and Log Follow On Actionexpand_more

• A data-room asset titled Web3 / Token Stage
• A clear task output, updated venture DNA and recommended next action
• It should update the venture DNA with specific evidence or decisions about token utility, community, legal assumptions and protocol launch, create a visible milestone in the founder journey, and generate one or more recommended next tasks

A mentor or evaluator can review the output at the group gate. Programme managers can require an advisor checkpoint before Bertie moves the venture forward.

Draft your output and let Bertie review it
