I think in my case it's not so much graduation criteria (I'm not judging my
mentee) but releasing mentors to mentor others since that's the resource
we're running out of and want to treat like gold. :)

I could see timing as being a decent criteria for defining each program.
Then all I'd suggest is -- Duration: six months between Summits as the
definition for WOO light-weight mentoring + Speed-mentoring.
