Gather Agency Portfolios and Ecosystem Baseline Data
Collect historical applicant data from regional hubs, growth hubs, grant providers, and partner programmes to benchmark current inbound volumes and routing failures. Map existing intake forms, diagnostic tools, and referral pathways currently deployed across participating public bodies. Identify recurring data silos and integration barriers across the public agency ecosystem.
Gathering this baseline data exposes existing redundancies and friction in ecosystem signposting. It grounds the front-door design in real operational volumes and historical founder journey bottlenecks.
Assemble a complete inventory of existing agency intake points, diagnostic metrics, and historical drop-off rates. Define the unified data schema required to ingest and harmonise disparate data feeds into a central intake engine.
Five questions an expert would ask when reviewing your output
Use these to challenge assumptions, pressure-test your logic, and check the quality of this action's output in the context of the parent task and wider venture development.
- 1
How complete and reliable is the historical intake data you gathered from regional partner agencies?
- 2
What proportion of current ecosystem applicants represent duplicate submissions across multiple regional portals?
- 3
Where are the primary data leaks or friction points in the existing agency referral pathways?
- 4
How have you verified that participating regional hubs have the operational capacity to process the routed leads you plan to send them?
- 5
What legal and data protection constraints govern sharing incoming founder data across distinct public-sector entities?
