Early Stage Innovation Assessment Tools
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
