DEC

Decisions

  • Confirm the Sennia mandate as written

    Mandate is held as DRAFT. Every scored opportunity carries that caveat until confirmed.

    Options: Confirm as drafted / Confirm with amendments / Defer pending investor meeting

    Recommendation: Confirm as drafted and resolve the four TO CONFIRM fields separately.

    Awaiting Founder approval
  • Alperton Wharf — 38 units against a 40-unit floor

    Fails the scale criterion by two units. Otherwise compliant.

    Options: Record a written variation / Hold in general database / Discard

    Recommendation: Hold in the general database. Do not introduce without a written variation.

    Awaiting Founder approval
  • Proceed to introduction on Deptford Creekside Block C

    Introduction readiness pending Tier 1 title evidence and funding proof.

    Options: Introduce now / Complete verification first / Park

    Recommendation: Complete verification first.

    Awaiting Founder approval
  • Adopt the three-tier verification standard as binding

    Tier 1 evidence is currently required for block structure and sourcing route. Other criteria accept Tier 2.

    Options: Adopt as drafted / Adopt with different tier floors / Defer

    Recommendation: Adopt as drafted for the pilot and review at Stage 1 end.

LESSON

Lessons learned

  • Off-market status decays quickly

    Re-verify sourcing route immediately before any introduction; a portal listing invalidates the criterion.

    Process · Lewisham pilot

  • Never infer an unstated mandate limit

    Undefined fields are recorded as VERIFY, never assumed. Assumed ceilings distort scoring and mislead investors.

    Commercial · Sennia onboarding

  • A high fit score can still hide a hard fail

    Composite scores are advisory only. Readiness is decided criterion by criterion, and a mandatory FAIL always blocks.
