Gather Artefacts and Evidence for Audit
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.
Completing 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.
Produce 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.
