Cohorts
Purpose-built for cohort-based programs
A fellowship is not a one-off award. It runs in cohorts, over years, with mentoring, milestones and outcomes that only make sense once the cohort has moved on. The platform follows a fellow the whole way rather than closing the file at the award letter.
- Cohort-based structureWorkflows built around the cohort, not the individual award.
- Multi-year trackingA fellow followed across every year of the program.
- Mentorship coordinationMatching, check-ins and effectiveness in the same record.
- Milestones and outputsResearch outputs, publications and career milestones logged as they happen.
- Longitudinal dataCollected as the cohort moves on, analyzed when the question arrives.

Phoenix
The cohort question nobody has time to answer
Where the 2022 cohort ended up. Which fellows have not filed a progress report. How much of each fund is committed against what is left. Phoenix Copilot works out what to pull, reads every record rather than a sample, and builds the answer from what it found, with the place each figure came from.
It does the work as well as the reading. Add a milestone to next year’s form, set a renewal condition, move a set of fellows to the next status: describe the outcome and it shows you the result before it lands. Who gets selected stays with your panel.
Phoenix, the AI built into CommunityForceIllustration of Phoenix Copilot answering which fellows have not filed their quarterly progress report.
Three of 12 fellows in the 2025 cohort have not filed a Q3 progress report. Two are past due:
| Fellow | Mentor | Due |
|---|---|---|
| Marcus Bell | Dr. Novak | Sep 15, overdue |
| Sofia Marin | Prof. Adeyemi | Sep 15, overdue |
| Leila Haddad | Hon. Lin | Oct 1 |
Want me to draft the reminder to the two who are overdue, copying their mentors?
