Notes
45-minute discovery call with James Rutherford and colleague Priya Singh (Gatsby Education). Baela Raza Jamil from ITA joined for 20 minutes. Presented ASER learning recovery brief. Gatsby previously funded ITA (2018–2021) and considers them a 'trusted implementing partner.'
Outcome
James requested a formal concept note by July 15, aligned to Gatsby's 2026 concept note template. Confirmed this fits within their Pakistan allocation. 'Strong prospect' per Gatsby's standard language. Budget ceiling likely £200–250K.
