What changed after the introduction?
AEYF will distinguish targets from activity, activity from outcomes and reported outcomes from verified results. The ledger begins before the forum and follows venture progress for a full year.

Framework updated 2026-08-15Follow the work long enough to see whether it moved.
Readiness baseline
Cohort profile, needs, evidence quality and intended introductions.
Connection quality
Accepted introductions, next steps and completed first meetings.
Opportunity progress
Diligence, technical support, pilot design and procurement movement.
Durable outcomes
Pilots, contracts, capital, market entry, jobs and remaining constraints.
No success story before there is evidence.
Consented venture cases will show the original constraint, AEYF intervention, supporting evidence, result and remaining need. Marketing language will not replace verification.
Case reporting begins after the first follow-up window.
Until then, AEYF will publish the method rather than imply outcomes that have not occurred.
