Programme Eligibility Matrix

Create a structured, reusable map or index for Programme Eligibility Matrix. The objective is to remove ambiguity around programme eligibility criteria, overlaps and recommendation logic, 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 Programme Eligibility Matrix 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.

ecosystem objective; programme inventory; founder intake data; partner network; reporting requirements; source information to structure; specific context for programme eligibility criteria, overlaps and recommendation logic.

1. 1Define Mapping Scope and Governing Decisionexpand_more

   Specify the exact public agency or ecosystem programmes to be evaluated alongside the core routing decision this matrix must inform. The founder defines whether the tool serves automated applicant triage, policy evaluation, or manual venture signposting.

   Objective

   Establishing a clear boundary and decision framework prevents scope creep during ecosystem mapping. It ensures the resulting matrix directly serves a concrete operational goal rather than becoming a passive academic exercise.

   What's expected

   The founder must produce a formal scope document detailing target ecosystem programmes, intended user personas, and the specific routing decision. Evidence of alignment with ecosystem agency objectives must be explicitly documented.

   1. 1.Which specific public agency decision relies on this mapping scope, and what happens if this scope is defined too narrowly?
   2. 2.How did you validate that the selected programmes represent the actual funding and support pathways available to target ventures?
   3. 3.What evidence proves that this governing decision aligns with the agency's strategic funding mandates?
   4. 4.Why have you included or excluded regional growth hubs from this initial scope definition?
   5. 5.How will this operational boundary prevent contradictory recommendations when a venture qualifies for multiple public interventions?

• A data-room asset titled Programme Eligibility Matrix
• A structured map, register, dashboard or index that can be reused by founders, mentors, programme managers and investors
• It should update the venture DNA with specific evidence or decisions about programme eligibility criteria, overlaps and recommendation logic, 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.
