Evidence, assessment and progression

One evidence trail from learning activity to next support.

The proposed system makes completion decisions transparent, helps facilitators identify targeted support and gives programme leaders a structured basis for reporting and pathway handoff.

Traceability

Outcome → activity → output → evidence → decision.

Every approved objective is connected to a practical activity, a participant-produced output and an observable readiness indicator.

Readiness Evidence Passport

A concise participant-level handoff.

The passport records what the participant has demonstrated, where evidence is incomplete and what type of support should come next.

Illustrative participant summary

Amina K. · Catering concept

  • Business idea and customer are clear
  • Seven customer interviews completed
  • Pricing and COGS calculated with support
  • Business registration pathway identified
  • Asked for a practice sale three times

Recommended next support

Progress to Build with targeted financial coaching.

Priority support: refine fixed-cost assumptions, confirm food-service licensing and test a paid pre-order.

Evidence gaps remain visible rather than being converted into an unsupported “ready/not ready” label.

Leading and lagging indicators

Observable behaviour, not vague impressions.

Indicators are written as things a facilitator can see, hear or verify in submitted work.

Leading signals

  • Creates an offer that meets a validated need
  • Explains the offer clearly to the cohort
  • Uses research to change the idea
  • Asks for a practice sale
  • Attempts to close a practice sale

Lagging signals

  • Does not create or refine an offer
  • Insists validation is already known
  • Cannot explain the product or customer clearly
  • Shows little impact on purchase interest
  • Avoids asking for or closing a sale
