Is it not possible to change the page (and Clutch) to include the month that they join the incubator? That way, clutch can decide for itself whether they should be reporting monthly? Or have them add the months of their monthly reports to the page so that afterwards it becomes redundant info rather than the cause of problems?
Just thoughts.
