Business areas
Five connected business areas
Each business area carries a distinct operational responsibility. They share products, records and reporting structures, so work moves between them without losing evidence.
The lifecycle
From evaluation to demonstrated outcome
Business areas map onto the lifecycle of innovation work rather than onto software categories.
- 01
Evaluate
Structured assessment of companies, applications and opportunities against consistent criteria.
- 02
Develop
Programme and portfolio management that tracks progress rather than collecting static reports.
- 03
Connect
Matching and meeting workflows that create relevant connections between participants.
- 04
Prove
Outcome measurement and research that make results explainable to boards and funders.

Most organisations operate across two or three. A short meeting is enough to identify where structure would help first.
