5 of 11 tracker categories banked, 5 in progress (counted at half), 1 not started. This is an internal progress estimate, not an eligibility assessment.

Missing to add
- Captures to insert where marked [INSERT]: Switch screenshot received; production-database, product-flow and repository captures still needed (E-I1); core-paper first page and repository records (E-I2); Modeler authorship captures (E-C1 - cleared to file as-is); State Street engagement captures (E-C2); founder source pages assembled locally (E-F1).
- Corroboration: Settley user analytics export (backs the ~150-user figure); State Street redaction/permission sign-off.
- Founder proof: accounts or sales/customer evidence - gov.uk's listed proof types. Ownership split / cap table chase dropped 15 Sep (applicant ruling): founder status stands on the incorporation document plus the Switch SLA naming him Cofounder.
- Letter logistics: author credentials - LinkedIn profiles ruled sufficient for all three referees 15 Sep (Shashwat CV chase dropped); prints to capture at assembly. Shashwat and Sabrine signed originals are held; Suzanne remains the original email, filed as-is.
- Assembly: nine criterion candidates retained, including E-I2; reserve slots remain optional working ideas. Re-verify the evidence index at final assembly.
- Stage 1 endorsement form: not started - submitted only when rows above are complete; decisions take up to 8 weeks.
- Awaiting others: Salford Innovation booklet (requested from the university); Arbitrum organiser confirmation letter (draft ready, he sends it himself); BlueprintGen preprint read-through before arXiv.
- His decisions: founder-lane referee gap (accept / swap Sabrine / fourth informal statement); 5 [DECIDE] items in the UK plan draft; Salford workshop series decision (due ~26 Sep).
