Roadmap & XP — Your Venture Journey (Venture OS)

See every milestone from idea to traction across five tracks (Idea Book, Idea Validation, Planning, Tools and Executing), what unlocks each one, and where to go next.

What it is

The Roadmap is your venture's map. It lays out every milestone from first idea to sustained traction, shows which ones are done, active or locked, and takes you straight to the page where the work happens.

The five tracks

Switch tracks with the toggle at the top.

| Track | Phases | What it tracks | |---|---|---| | Idea Book | Explore → Understand → Design → Launch | Each Idea Book section, e.g. Problem Discovery, Business Model Canvas, Alpha/Beta/MVP | | Idea Validation | Signal → Survey → Test → Synthesize | Pre-validation check, complaint research, surveys, assumption mapping, evidence, expert validation, research synthesis, validation score, risk workflow | | Planning | Strategy → Sales → Marketing → Business Plan → Pitch → Fundraise | Your plans: Go-to-Market, Sales, Marketing (plus Offers Lab), Business Plan, Investor Teaser and Fundraising Readiness (the Fund Raising plan) | | Tools | Incubation & readiness → Marketing → Sales → Partners & governance → Community | Every platform tool not already tied to a milestone, grouped by category. Always available, with no XP | | Executing | Launch → GTM execution → Metrics & KPIs → Traction | Action plan, launch playbook, MENA entity setup, channel experiments, Presentation Studio, KPI setup, sustained execution |

Working with a milestone

Pick a phase, then a milestone on the left. The detail panel shows:

  • Status: completed, active or locked. When locked, it tells you why, for example Complete "Problem Discovery" in your Idea Book to unlock.
  • Progress: e.g. 4/7 steps or 2/5 survey responses, and how many more are needed.
  • Preview: the key values you've already entered.
  • Edit (Idea Book and Planning) or Open Tool (other tracks): takes you to the right page.

What unlocks what

  • Idea Book phases unlock in order; complete earlier milestones to open later ones.
  • Idea Validation milestones have their own prerequisites. For example:
  • The pre-validation check needs your idea title, problem, target audience and solution.
  • Surveys need at least one Target Segment.
  • Research Synthesis opens once at least two of complaints, surveys, assumptions and evidence are underway.
  • The Validation Score and Risk milestones open after Research Synthesis reaches 5 cards.
  • Planning milestones unlock when the Idea Book sections each plan depends on are complete.
  • Executing stays locked until you complete at least one Planning milestone.

About XP

Each milestone shows a Roadmap XP value (e.g. +100 Roadmap XP). It signals how much that milestone moves your venture forward, and bigger steps carry more XP. The Roadmap page does not add these up into a balance.

Roadmap XP is separate from the XP and Platform Credit you earn by answering surveys in the Survey Hub; the two are never added together. Hover the ⓘ icon next to the Roadmap subtitle for a reminder.

Tip

Don't try to clear a whole track before starting the next. Most founders move the Idea Book and Idea Validation forward together: write a section, test it, then refine.
