What it argues
A cohort moves together. A studio portfolio never does. Every company in it sits at a different stage, needing different things, from the same small team. Every operating model available was designed for the first case.
What you take away
Model stage explicitly, not implicitly
Retain the reasoning behind every kill
Make gate criteria a record rather than a conversation
Carry cost basis from the first hour
Make the founder bench observable before assignment
Preserve visibility past spin-out
Produce the limited partner picture as a byproduct
