Map Post-Programme Gaps and Investor Layer Triggers
The founder isolates specific capability deficits, future support requirements, mentor needs, and precise investor engagement triggers. They map operational milestones directly to required advisor skills and capital introduction thresholds to establish explicit conditions for intervention.
Completing this action translates vague operational challenges into precise, trigger-based support requirements across advisory and investor layers. It ensures that post-programme assistance is requested proactively against measurable signals rather than reactively during a crisis.
The founder must deliver a detailed mapping matrix that links specific venture vulnerabilities to concrete external support triggers and mentor profiles. Each trigger must state the exact quantitative or qualitative threshold that automatically initiates contact with investors or advisors.
