Day 14: Week 2 wrap — your first scorecard

Three composites, one calibration, one personal heuristic. That's a real artifact.

Yesterday

Yesterday's calibration closed the loop on Week 2. Today you ship the artifact.

Why this signal matters

By Day 14, you have something nobody else in your network has: a rolling 4-org composite scorecard with calibration. It is small but it is yours. Most professional sourcing systems were built from a smaller starting position.

The 5-minute exercise

1Compile a single page: 4 orgs (3 candidates + 1 calibration), composite for each, delta vs gut, the signal that mattered most.
2Save it somewhere persistent — Notion, doc, repo. You'll add to it weekly.
3Send it to one trusted co-investor or analyst. Ask: 'What did I miss?'
4Schedule the Week 3 first session: 25 minutes on Monday.

What you’re filtering for

A scorecard you'd be willing to show to your most rigorous co-investor. If you wouldn't, refine the notes — the goal is artifact-quality, not perfect.

Edge case

If two of your three candidates scored identically (e.g. both 4/6), differentiate by the qualitative notes. The number compresses; the prose decompresses.

Bonus

The scorecard becomes the seed of your watchlist (Day 15). Same data, different framing — same orgs, but now with a 'next-touch date' added.

Tomorrow

Week 3 starts tomorrow — building the watchlist that turns these one-off scores into a continuous practice.
