Seems like the thing to do is to have a program that happens after MATS, not to extend MATS. I think in-general you want sequential filters for talent, and ideally the early stages are as short as possible (my guess is indeed MATS should be a bit shorter).
Seems dependent on how much economies of scale matter here. Given the main cost (other than paying people) is ops, and relationships (between MATS and the community, mentors, funders, and mentees), I think its pretty possible the efficient move is to have MATS get into this niche.
