Shivangi · RLs

Claude adopted as primary AI tool. Data mining of 280+ intake forms begun — surfacing mentor/mentee mismatch insights for programme redesign.
Shivangi · Asha

Board-Level Structural Insights
- Cohort fees cannot carry the org — sponsorship structurally necessary.
- Circle: ~19% onboarding completion, ~66% barely use it. Programme-wide problem.
- 186 alumni returners — no structured path or journey exists yet.
- 51% of members open to CL role — no activation mechanism built.
- TRSP early finding: siloed working, limited cross-team cohesion.
- Closing event consistently the weakest programme touchpoint.
- Mentor marketing undersupported — richest TwM story is undertold.
- /sponsor page is 404 — active revenue problem.
