Review Quality and Evidence Strength
Conduct a rigorous, critical audit of the completed artefact against objective standards of proof. The founder actively seeks counter-examples, tests the depth of market access claims, and exposes any logical leaps.
Stress-testing the output ensures the venture thesis rests on robust, defendable facts rather than optimism. It protects the venture from wasting capital on thesis assumptions that fail under scrutiny.
A completed quality review log detailing stress-test results, identified logic gaps, and verified evidence ratings. The founder must show clear proof of challenging their own assumptions.
