Scoring your committee can defend

Invite evaluators, assign by expertise or let IdeaScore auto-assign, collect conflict-of-interest declarations and set deadlines. Rubrics carry weights and descriptors, rounds promote the best forward, and calibration normalises strict and generous scorers. The leaderboard shows human, AI and blended views side by side.

IdeaScore AI

A co-evaluator that does its homework and shows it

For every application, IdeaScore AI researches the market, competitors, prior art, mentor credibility and policy fit on the live web, scores against your rubric and cites every source. Its score sits beside the human scores, never instead of them.

  • Grounded research

    Live web research per application, with the sources listed under each criterion.

  • Reads the deck

    Extracts claims and numbers from uploaded pitch decks.

  • Pre-screens the pile

    Rule-based and AI checks for completeness and duplicates before a human opens anything.

  • Keeps you in control

    Daily quotas, a request log, and staleness flags when an evaluation is older than the application.
