Gate Path
- G1Gate 1 — Thesis ReadyThe specific workflow · The evidence failure · The developer user · The economic buyer · Why the founder is suited to solve it · Why the startup should exist independently
- G2Gate 2 — MVP ReadyOne Rails workflow · One Rust receipt family · One local verification path · One Evidence Room export · One developer quickstart · One design-partner use case
- G3Gate 3 — Pilot ReadyExternal acceptance criteria · Integration documentation · Measurable baseline · Commercial terms · Claims boundaries · An explicit end-of-pilot decision
- G4Gate 4 — V1 Venture ReadyProduct functionality · Developer adoption · External workflow completion · Verified artifacts · Willingness to pay · Repeatability and expansion potential · Capital requirements
