Evidence Gap Audit
Evidence Gap Audit helps the founder or programme team critically review evidence gap. Within Continuous AI, Advisor & Data-Room Intelligence, it turns a broad or uncertain area of the venture into a concrete Bertie work product that can be reviewed, improved and reused. The task is intentionally discrete: it should produce a specific artefact, decision, evidence item or risk signal rather than general learning notes.
Critically test the quality, consistency and readiness of Evidence Gap Audit. The objective is to remove ambiguity around evidence gap, 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 Evidence Gap Audit 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.
current venture DNA; latest task outputs; data-room state; open assumptions; programme or founder goal; existing artefact to review; specific context for evidence gap.
Extract all current data-room assets, founder claims, and supporting primary and secondary data related to the venture's core assumptions. Consolidate these inputs into a single structured repository to establish a clear audit baseline.
ObjectiveCompleting this action alone provides an inventory of all available documentation supporting current venture claims. It ensures the audit operates on a comprehensive baseline, preventing premature conclusions based on missing files.
What's expectedProduce a structured index of files, customer interview notes, operational metrics, and technical proofs linked directly to active venture claims. Clear metadata must indicate the source, date, and current validation status of each document.
Open action arrow_forwardConsultant stress-test · 5 questions- 1.What critical claims in your venture DNA currently lack any supporting documentation in this repository?
- 2.How did you verify that the gathered primary research is recent enough to reflect current market dynamics?
- 3.Why are certain unstructured advisor notes included without clear attribution or source validation?
- 4.How does this asset index map directly to the key value drivers identified in your business model?
- 5.Where have you conflated internal team opinions with validated external customer evidence?
- A data-room asset titled Evidence Gap Audit
- A review note with a verdict, evidence gaps, risks, recommended corrections and a clear continue / repeat / escalate decision
- It should update the venture DNA with specific evidence or decisions about evidence gap, create a visible milestone in the founder journey, and generate one or more recommended next tasks
Bertie co-pilot reads the full venture DNA, detects evidence gaps, contradictions and stale assets, and recommends the next best task with rationale. For this task, it should focus on evidence gap, prompt the founder for missing inputs, draft or improve the output, flag weak assumptions, and record the result back into the relevant data-room section.
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.
