Business Design lifecycle

Six stages, five gates, and a donor deadline that will not move. This runs the scheduling and sign-off rules from the Business Design Manual.

Gate & sign-off checker

Five gates, and a signature matrix that changes with the deal tier. Set a tier and a pathway to see who has to sign, what has to be true before they can, and — when a gate will not open — the exact precondition standing in the way. Nothing here is saved.

Can this gate pass?

A gate is not “someone clicked approve”. It is a set of preconditions that must hold and a set of roles that must sign. Turn things off below and watch the engine refuse — the wording is what a reminder or a Blockage Board row would quote.
