Construct the Horizon Consortium Readiness Asset
Synthesise the strategic alignment, consortium architecture, and venture inputs into a comprehensive Horizon Consortium Readiness Document. Formulate a definitive decision on whether to join an existing consortium, lead a new proposal, or pivot to alternative domestic funding calls.
Producing this final artefact creates a standardised, investor-grade asset for consortium coordinators and venture stakeholders. It establishes a formal strategic decision regarding Horizon readiness, preventing half-hearted proposal commitments.
A fully articulated Horizon / Consortium Readiness asset detailing partner requirements, work package scopes, budget allocations, and an explicit Go or No-Go decision signed off by the leadership team. The document must articulate exact technological contributions and value capture mechanisms.
