Funder Criteria Evidence Map

Create a structured, reusable map or index for Funder Criteria Evidence Map. The objective is to remove ambiguity around mapping scoring criteria to credible evidence, 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 Funder Criteria Evidence Map 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.

venture thesis; customer evidence; product roadmap; financial assumptions; current funding objective; source information to structure; specific context for mapping scoring criteria to credible evidence.

   Identify the specific funding instrument, grant programme, or investor profile being targeted and articulate the precise decision this exercise must support. Establish the explicit scoring thresholds, funder priorities, and committee requirements that define success or rejection.

   Objective

   Completing this action establishes a precise boundary and target decision for the funding application process. It ensures the venture does not waste resources mapping evidence against irrelevant funder metrics or inappropriate capital sources.

   What's expected

   The founder must produce a formal brief specifying the target funder, submission deadline, requested capital amount, and explicit pass-or-fail scoring criteria. This output must be substantiated by official grant call specifications, investor investment thesis notes, or explicit guidance documents.
