Everything a programme team does, in one place

IdeaScore runs a call for applications end to end: collect, review, evaluate, decide. Nine modules share one set of records, one audit trail and one leaderboard, so nothing is retyped between stages.

How a call flows

Four stages, one record per application

A submission enters once and carries its case number, its dossier, its scores and its history all the way to the decision.

  1. Collect

    A multi-stage form opens, applicants draft and submit, files land with the record.

    Applications

  2. Review

    Programme staff triage the pile, flag resubmissions and approve what goes forward.

    Review

  3. Evaluate

    Evaluators score against a rubric, round by round, with IdeaScore AI beside them.

    Evaluation

  4. Decide

    Pitch day runs live, the committee gets a report, the result is published.

    Pitch day
The modules

Six groups, nine modules

Each module is a page of its own. Every one of them reads and writes the same submission record.

Collect

Take the application, and keep the applicant informed

A multi-stage form with conditions, windows and capacity, plus the portal an applicant signs into with a magic link to draft, resume, edit before the deadline and watch their status move.

ApplicationsApplicant portal
  • Eleven field types with show-when conditions
  • Server-side drafts that follow the applicant across devices
  • Direct uploads for pitch decks and supporting files
  • A status timeline the applicant can check without emailing you

Review

Turn the pile into a shortlist

The submissions table holds the whole call: case numbers, filters, resubmission and duplicate flags with their lineage, a dossier with notes and mentions, bulk actions, Excel export and an append-only audit log.

Review
  • Filters and search across every field the form collected
  • Resubmission and duplicate flags, with lineage kept
  • Approve, reject, reopen and undo, each with a reason
  • An audit log a committee can be shown

Evaluate

Score it the way your committee will defend

Invite evaluators, assign by expertise, collect conflict declarations, then run weighted rubrics with descriptors across as many rounds as the call needs. Calibration evens out strict and generous scorers, and the leaderboard is what the committee reads.

Evaluation
  • Auto-assignment by expertise with a workload cap
  • Blind review and conflict-of-interest declarations
  • Multi-round pipelines with recorded promotions
  • Human, AI and blended views on one table

IdeaScore AI

Research on every application, not just the ten you had time for

IdeaScore AI reads the application and the deck, researches market, competitors, prior art, credibility, policy and feasibility on the live web, and scores against your rubric with a citation under every criterion. It is an extra column, never a replacement.

IdeaScore AI
  • Cited sources under each criterion
  • Pre-screening for completeness and duplicates
  • A daily quota, a request log and staleness flags
  • Off per programme whenever a call should be human-only

“Grid-edge storage for rural feeders is under-served; two comparable ventures found, neither targets sub-1 MW feeders. The founder's prior work at a state utility is verifiable.”

Decide

Run the day, then hand over the paperwork

Pitch day gives you live session control, a timer and a projector board that updates as scores land. Reports turn the same data into a funnel, a sector and stage mix, evaluator throughput and a committee-ready export you can schedule by email.

Pitch dayReports
  • Live session control with a timer and standings
  • Committee report as Excel or HTML
  • Scheduled reports by email
  • A public results page when the decision is made

Questions about the product as a whole

Do we have to use every module?
No. A programme can stop at review, or run scoring without a pitch day. Modules that are switched off in your plan or settings simply do not appear in the navigation for your team.
Can we run more than one programme at a time?
Yes. An organisation holds as many programmes as its plan allows, each with its own form, rubric, evaluators and leaderboard. Staff move between them from one console.
How does data move between stages?
It does not move. There is one submission record per application; review, scoring, pitch day and reports all read and annotate that same record, which is why the audit trail is continuous.
Who can see what?
Five roles: platform admin, organisation owner, programme admin, evaluator and applicant. Evaluators see only the submissions assigned to them, and in blind review they do not see applicant identities at all.
Where does it run?
In our cloud at app.ideascore.online, or on your institution's own server with Docker, or Apache with PM2. The feature set is identical either way.
