Execute Governance Decision and Route Next Tasks
Formulate a formal audit verdict—continue, repeat, pivot, escalate, or defer—based on overall data room readiness and risk severity. Update the venture DNA with verified evidence items, resolved contradictions, and newly established baseline metrics. Log the audit milestone in the founder journey and trigger automated next tasks for data room distribution or deep remediation.
Recording an explicit governance decision prevents premature investor exposure while locking in verified venture milestones. It maintains structural alignment across the venture building programme and enforces accountable decision-making.
A signed Data Room Audit Review Note containing the final verdict, updated venture DNA records, logged journey milestone, and scheduled follow-on tasks. The document must state explicit criteria for progressing to live investor engagement or escalating to legal counsel.
