Ready for the questions that will be asked?

Before an investor’s counsel or a ministry official engages, they will want answers to questions like these. Answer each honestly. The readout shows where the venture is strong, where it is exposed, and which kind of help, if any, would close the gap.

This check runs entirely in your browser. Nothing you select is sent unless you choose to send the summary, and nothing is kept unless you ask for your answers to be kept on this device.

Capital

The source of funds is identified and can be evidenced in writing.

Money is tracked by the state it has actually reached: committed, sent, received or cleared.

There is a financial model, with a downside case, that our own team can run.

Structure

The contracting entity exists, and who may sign for it is documented.

Terms with any partner or co-sponsor are agreed in writing.

Every term sheet and agreement is dated and marked as draft, proposed or executed.

Permissions

The licences, permits and rights the venture needs are listed, with the authority that grants each.

We know the government’s own process: its stages, and the evidence each stage requires.

Materials

Each audience receives the document it expects: proposal, memorandum, instrument or letter.

Every material figure and claim in our documents can be traced to a source.

Systems

Domains, accounts, data and credentials are registered to the venture, not to individuals or advisers.

Decisions and the evidence behind them are recorded somewhere the whole team can find them.
