Formulate Final Verdict and Progression Route
The founder synthesises all findings into a formal review note, rendering a definitive decision to continue, repeat, pivot, escalate, or defer. They update the venture DNA records and map the explicit next steps required based on the outcome.
Rendering a definitive verdict establishes clear accountability and governance for venture progression. It provides stakeholder clarity on whether the timing window is sufficiently validated to justify advancing into the next build phase.
The founder must submit a signed review note containing a clear verdict, a summary of validated evidence, updated venture DNA records, and linked next-step task assignments.
