Stage-gate funding on leading indicators, not calendar

What’s happening Transformation bets are moving to stage-gates tied to leading indicators (adoption, cycle-time, win-rate uplift), not quarterly calendar milestones.

Why it matters Calendar gates keep weak bets alive and strong bets under-funded. Indicator gates allocate to verified momentum.

What to do next week

• For each top-5 bet, define two leading indicators and a kill/pivot rule (e.g., “If <30% adoption by Day 60 → pivot scope”).

• Create a monthly reallocation window (2–5% of capital).

• Publicly retire one low-signal initiative this quarter.
