The Missing Clock cover

What it argues

An accelerator has a demo day. An incubator has a lease. One of those forces the question of whether the company is still progressing. The other never asks it at all.

What you take away

  • Establish a baseline at intake and keep it live

  • Create a progression clock where the calendar does not

  • Attribute services to outcomes

  • Make stall visible early

  • Turn graduation into an evidenced decision

  • Track post-graduation survival and growth

  • Replace occupancy with progression as the headline number
