Phase 3  /  Close the gap

Turn the gaps into a plan, in the order that matters.

Phase 2 showed you where the gaps are. This is where they become work. The plan is sequenced on purpose: the funder-disqualifying basics come first because they zero out an application, then the fiscal and compliance base, then the case you make to funders, then the stewardship that keeps them coming back. Mark each action, name an owner, set a target, and track it down. Close the gap before you apply, not after you are declined.
