Methodology

How Maitro keeps public proof inside the boundary

This page records how the site counts ventures, labels claims, and handles research-backed numbers before they become public evidence.

Research discipline

The label matters as much as the number

Maitro uses a small claim vocabulary so senior leaders can tell the difference between current fact, scheduled event, gated material, and target metric.

How we count ventures

A venture enters the public ledger when it has a public surface and an operating record Maitro can defend. The locked CURRENT facts are Maitro as venture 19 and Talpro operating since 2010. Every adjacent portfolio roll-up remains TARGET until source review is public.

How LIVE stats are aggregated

The home page uses an aggregate frame rather than individual activity events. Until daily production telemetry is wired and audited, the 24-hour numbers are labelled TARGET and should be read as the intended reporting shape.

How claim labels work

CURRENT is reserved for Maitro as venture 19, Talpro since 2010, Rs 0 personal capital, and the personal-capital comparison row. SCHEDULED is reserved for the S26 Demo Day date. GATED means the underlying asset is withheld until verification or publication. TARGET means a planned or modelled number, not a current fact.

How royalty is disclosed

Royalty bands are not published as public conversion copy. They are disclosed after senior-leader verification, conflict review, and the appropriate agreement path.

How cohort selection works

Maitro evaluates seniority, domain pain, build feasibility, conflict posture, and whether a Talpro-backed crew can operate the venture without requiring the ideator to quit their job.

How cohort claims are labelled

Cohort size, seats filled, and reveal mechanics are target operating claims until the cohort is public. The S26 Demo Day date remains SCHEDULED because it is a dated event in the cohort calendar.

How person-years will be counted

Person-years are a target operating-experience roll-up: venture-pod operating headcount multiplied by tenure. The number is not treated as CURRENT until the underlying source table is published or externally reviewed.

How ideator time is estimated

Time claims are target planning budgets for the application and build paths. Signed scopes, cohort stage, and conflict-review work can change the actual time commitment.

How build-cycle targets work

The 90-day and twelve-week claims are target operating rhythms for Build Lab. They are not public guarantees that every accepted venture will launch on that exact cadence.

How amplification claims work

Amplification claims describe the target channel system and planning cadence. Specific podcasts, articles, awards, events, or media slots require fit, consent, and written confirmation.

How personal capital is treated

Rs 0 personal capital required means the ideator is not asked to write a build cheque as a condition of the Maitro Build Lab model. It is not a guarantee against incidental professional, legal, tax, or advisory costs the ideator may choose to incur.

How research gates work

The founder thesis PDF and Featured Insights essays stay GATED until the content is published. Public cards use a Coming July 2026 chip instead of linking to a missing asset.

How Society cadence is framed

Society briefing and room-cadence claims are target operating rhythms until the specific issue, event, or member surface is published.

How Boardroom capacity is framed

Boardroom capacity claims describe intended room design and curation. Attendance depends on city, topic, invitations, conflicts, and confirmed capacity.

How office-hours claims are framed

Office-hours duration is a target booking frame for private fit calls, not a guarantee of outcome, acceptance, or legal review.
