I've done it. Does not feed as a pipeline into any other roles; it is just an insight programme and ends there.

They did send me reminder emails when deadlines approached, but I still went through the same process as everyone else.

I do know people who did the discover programme but did not pass the Imbellus, so it's really not an edge at all.
