Record Formal Governance Verdict and Next Tasks
Synthesise all evaluation findings, risk audits, and experiment outcomes into a formal review note. Formulate an unambiguous recommendation—continue, repeat, pivot, escalate, or defer—and present it to the programme steering group alongside supporting data-room assets.
Completing this action brings definitive closure to the commitment check, locking in a clear path forward for the venture. It protects venture resources by ensuring progression is strictly contingent on validated sponsor backing and operational readiness.
Deliver a signed Review Note containing the explicit verdict, evidence synthesis, updated venture DNA records, and an immediate list of recommended next tasks. The document must clearly state the rationale for the verdict and be uploaded to the data room as an official record.
