Meeting Priorities
What the meeting clarified
Phase 2 should not start with more building.
Phase 2 should organize the logic first.
David’s focus was the partner layer and how it fits into the OS.
Priority 1, Do not just show partners after Compass
When a founder completes Compass, the OS should not simply show a partner list.
It should identify the founder need and route them to the most useful OS surface first.
Priority 2, Organize partners around problems
Partners should be connected to founder problems, not only categories.
Example:
| Founder problem | Possible support |
|---|---|
| I need a website | knowledge, checklist, website partner, hosting partner |
| I need payments | payment setup guide, payment partner |
| I need networking | network room, event, introductions |
| I need cash flow clarity | finance guide, CFO office hour, finance partner |
Priority 3, Use repeated needs as partner demand signals
If many founders ask for banking, Eprenz needs banking partners.
If many founders ask for networking, Eprenz needs partner rooms, expert sessions, and relevant community structures.
If many founders ask for website help, Eprenz needs website, domain, hosting, and setup options.
Priority 4, Connect partners to knowledge
Partners should not appear without context.
The sequence should usually be:
Problem → Knowledge → Clarity → Action → Partner or Tool
Priority 5, Define what the affiliate sheet needs
The affiliate sheet should become a problem-first partner readiness database.
It should help answer:
- What problem does this partner solve?
- Which founder stage does this partner support?
- Which country does this partner support?
- Where should this partner appear?
- Is this partner ready for OS placement?
Priority 6, Process comes later
Phase 2 defines the logic.
Phase 3 defines the process.
John and Diksha instructions, partner outreach SOPs, agreement tracking, and affiliate sheet cleanup are Phase 3 work.
