What it argues

Everyone believes the accelerator runs on the cohort calendar. It does not. It runs on the renewal calendar, and the two only look aligned until the year one of them slips.

What you take away

  • Record what the sponsor actually wanted

  • Keep a running delivery record

  • Hold outcomes across cohorts, not within them

  • Make the funding calendar visible alongside the cohort calendar

  • Survive the counterpart change

  • Show concentration and cooling early

  • Turn founder outcomes into sponsor evidence automatically
