Collect Intake Dossier and Operational Evidence
Collate all relevant operational data, customer discovery records, cap table details, and technical documentation required for formal intake review. Validate that all submitted materials are current, verifiable, and representative of the true state of the business.
Gathering rigorous baseline inputs ensures that the maturity assessment is grounded in verifiable facts rather than optimistic founder assumptions. This creates a credible audit trail for programme directors and prospective investors reviewing the data room.
A complete intake dossier comprising pitch materials, financial models, cap tables, primary research logs, and technical architecture overviews. Every claimed metric must be tied to a primary source document or verifiable data point.
