PITCH FEASIBILITY

Narrative checklist for a defence that can be tested

Same checklist on Global Challenge. Applications closed 15 June 2026. Remaining published stage: 14 November finals. Unique role of this site: social-innovation project stages.

Problem. One public, one failure, one place.
Team roles. Who built, who measured, who will answer the mechanism question on 14 November if invited.
Solution. What a juror could use in the room, not a film of a film.
Evidence. n, dates, what you did not learn.
Resources needed. Time, access, money — inside SVF’s published prize and support text only.
Limits. Who would block this, and why. University names on this site are mentor backgrounds, not hosts.

REVIEW & SUPPORT

Conflict, feedback, next test

Item	Write
Conflict	Advisor, family, current funder, former school. Recuse that sheet; do not empty the whole panel.
Feedback on record	Date, which published criterion, one sentence the team can act on. Not a corridor recap.
Next verification task	Smaller than a “scale strategy.” One measurement the team can finish.
Support in scope	Only what this brand has published: prize text, and a later accelerator window as first-party programme text — not a newly opened 2027 season, not a university partnership.
