Formalise Governance Decision and Update Venture DNA
The founder synthesises all review findings to record a definitive governance decision (continue, repeat, pivot, escalate, or defer) regarding post-programme support readiness. They update the venture DNA records and register the decision alongside recommended next tasks in the venture portfolio portal.
Completing this action establishes a binding, audit-ready governance milestone that closes the review loop and commits the venture to a clear path forward. It creates unambiguous accountability for whether the venture moves forward, revises its support model, or escalates to expert intervention.
The founder must publish a formal Decision Note detailing the explicit verdict, backing rationale, updated venture DNA assets, and assigned follow-on tasks. The documentation must clearly state the criteria that led to the final verdict without ambiguity.
Five questions an expert would ask when reviewing your output
Use these to challenge assumptions, pressure-test your logic, and check the quality of this action's output in the context of the parent task and wider venture development.
- 1
What precise evidence justifies a 'continue' decision rather than an 'escalate' call given the open risk signals?
- 2
If repeating this task, what specific missing data points must be secured before a final verdict can be reached?
- 3
How does this formal governance decision alter your immediate post-programme resource allocation and board reporting?
- 4
Why is an 'escalate' decision necessary at this point rather than resolving the support triggers internally?
- 5
How have you embedded these updated decisions and trigger commitments directly into your core venture DNA?
