Customer Journey Mapping

Create a structured, reusable map or index for Customer Journey Mapping. The objective is to remove ambiguity around end-to-end user workflow, pain moments, adoption triggers and retention points, give the founder a decision-ready output, and make it clear whether the venture should progress, repeat the task with stronger evidence, escalate to expert support, or move into a linked stage.

Bertie or a programme manager assigns Customer Journey Mapping when the venture needs a decision-ready output for this group. Typical triggers include group-gate reviews, evidence gaps identified by the co-pilot or founder request.

problem hypothesis; target customer assumptions; existing interviews or evidence; current alternatives; evidence log; source information to structure; specific context for end-to-end user workflow, pain moments, adoption triggers and retention points.

1. 1Define Scope and Strategic Decision Objectiveexpand_more

   Select the specific target customer segment, persona, or core offering that requires journey mapping. Specify the precise strategic or product decision this map must inform, such as prioritising go-to-market channels or refining product onboarding.

   Objective

   Establishing a clear scope prevents unfocused analysis and ensures the journey map addresses a high-priority business decision. This focused boundary ensures the resulting asset delivers actionable strategic direction rather than generic workflow diagrams.

   What's expected

   The founder must produce a documented scope brief defining the target customer persona, journey start and end points, and success metrics. The brief must explicitly state the commercial decision to be made based on the map's findings.

   1. 1.Which specific customer segment are you mapping, and why is this target prioritized over alternative commercial opportunities?
   2. 2.What exact strategic decision will this journey map unlock, and what criteria will determine a clear 'go' or 'no-go' outcome?
   3. 3.How do you know this journey boundary captures the complete buying cycle rather than an isolated interaction?
   4. 4.What evidence proves that this target persona has sufficient urgency and budget authority to justify mapping their journey first?
   5. 5.If this journey map reveals higher acquisition friction than anticipated, how will that alter your broader commercial strategy?

• A data-room asset titled Customer Journey Mapping
• A structured map, register, dashboard or index that can be reused by founders, mentors, programme managers and investors
• It should update the venture DNA with specific evidence or decisions about end-to-end user workflow, pain moments, adoption triggers and retention points, create a visible milestone in the founder journey, and generate one or more recommended next tasks

A mentor or evaluator can review the output at the group gate. Programme managers can require an advisor checkpoint before Bertie moves the venture forward.
