Assemble Timing Signal Artefacts and Primary Evidence
The founder gathers all existing documented claims, market reports, regulatory filings, and customer observations regarding macro catalysts. They compile these inputs into a centralised timing review file to create a single source of truth for evaluation.
Compiling this documentation establishes a transparent baseline of current venture assumptions regarding timing catalysts. It prevents selective memory during review, ensuring the overall timing thesis is interrogated against verifiable artefacts.
The founder must deliver an organised asset folder containing tagged timing claims, primary references, and preliminary market data. This folder must clearly map each timing claim to a specific source document or dataset.

How recently were these market artefacts gathered, and have key external conditions shifted since?
- 3
Which critical assumptions in this folder lack any supporting documentation or empirical proof?
- 4
How have you controlled for selection bias when gathering these specific market signals?
- 5
Where is the direct audit trail linking these external artefacts to your core venture hypothesis?
