Audit Evidence Quality and Assess Strategic Fit
Conduct a critical audit of the challenge findings, testing the strength of evidence supporting pilot feasibility, commercial alignment, and partner capability. Identify hidden delivery risks, governance hurdles, or unsupported assumptions before executing contracts. Ensure the proposed follow-on activities offer a high return on capital and effort.
Completing this action ensures that selected challenge outcomes are grounded in rigorous evidence rather than enthusiasm or vanity metrics. It protects the corporate entity and venture build from committing capital to unverified technologies or incompatible teams.
Produce a Risk and Evidence Audit report detailing verified capability claims, technical feasibility scores, and corporate readiness indicators. Assign explicit risk ratings and mitigation strategies to every proposed venture pilot.
