Abstract
Mentoring is rapidly gaining in popularity as a customized way to assist and support the novice entrepreneur. However, we still do not know very much about the usefulness of this approach or the benefits perceived by the mentees. The purpose of this study is to share evaluation data associated with a formal mentoring program, with respect to those factors that are likely to influence mentees’ satisfaction with their mentoring experience. Data was collected from 142 entrepreneurs who participated in a formal mentoring program designed for novice entrepreneurs by the Fondation de l'Entrepreneurship in Quebec, Canada. Results show that it is very important for the mentee to feel that his/her mentor truly understands what he/she is going through. Trust is of utmost importance and both the mentor and his/her mentee have to respect the "moral contract" they established at the beginning of the relationship. Finally, the mentee expects the mentoring relationship to produce visible results in his/her firm.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
