[KEY PRINCIPLE]
Readiness ≠ Eligibility
Eligibility is a binary policy filter. Readiness is a developmental signal. By separating them, foundations can communicate "not yet" without communicating "not worthy." Early-stage organizations receive constructive diagnostics instead of rejection language.
[OUTPUT ARTIFACT]PREVIEW
Separate outputs: eligibility, readiness, evidence coverage. Reviewers assess risk exposure without conflating developmental signals with policy filters.
Eligibility
Eligible / Conditional / Ineligible
Policy filter (RFP rules).
Readiness
0–100 score + five domains
Developmental, non pass/fail.
Evidence
Provided / Partial / Missing
Proof density by domain.
Operations
Leads inbox + review notes
Follow-up tracking.
[NON PASS/FAIL]
Readiness is developmental. Eligibility is policy. Ineligible outputs are communicated without shame language.
