Integrate Outcomes with Venture Stage Gates
Link the discovery findings and data-room outputs directly to subsequent validation tasks and governance reviews. Outline how synthesised evidence will update the venture DNA, update risk registers, and trigger formal stage-gate progression.
Connecting discovery outputs to governance mechanisms prevents isolated research artefacts and ensures seamless venture building. It converts qualitative customer validation into actionable inputs for value proposition design and financial modelling.
An integrated handover mapping detailing how discovery synthesis directly feeds downstream Bertie tasks. The founder must present an updated venture DNA record ready for data-room archiving and stage-gate sign-off.
