Early Stage Innovation Assessment Tools

Designed to calculate the variance between an Innovator's assessment of the viability and value of an innovation against the assessment of Innovation and Entrepreneurship (I&E) subject matter experts

What is it for?

Simple

Innovator provides a self-assessment of the innovation, using drop-down menus in the "Applicant Self-Assessment" section. No jargon terminology is used in this version; it is assumed that Innovators are not yet intimately familiar with I&E terminology.

Advanced

An "overall innovation viability score" is assigned, based on the variance between the innovator's assessment and those of the reviewers under the "Overall Score" tab. Innovation area can be selected. Specific questions with specific number of reviewers are chosen by admin.

Beneficial

No detailed market research is required at this stage; it is assumed that the innovator has some familiarity with the market forces likely to impact the dissemination and implementation of the innovation
