For programme managers

Know What Needs You Before Anyone Asks

Know on Monday what needs you, see early when scoring will run late, and get the funder report built for you.

A programme manager with a coffee at a standing desk checks her laptop beside a wall planner of cards moving through columns, while colleagues take a video call and carry files across a sunlit office.

Your week in counts, and in plain words

  • A programme with nothing to report skips the brief, so a quiet Monday stays quiet
  • Each plain-words line is checked against the card's own figures
  • Turn the brief off in Settings, under Notifications

Review Forecast

Know early if scoring will run late

A finish date from each judge's own pace, who is holding it up, and Remind or Reassign on the card.

  • Appears after three days of scoring, so it is never a guess
  • Past the deadline, the line turns amber and says Finishes late
  • Reminder Effect shows counts, never an evaluator's name
See Evaluation
The Review Progress Forecast card: at this pace scoring finishes on Wednesday 18 November, with 52 of 72 reviews scored, a burn-down chart and the four judges holding it up.
Will scoring finish before the panel meets? A forecast from each judge's own pace, with who is holding it up.

Cohort Health

Which companies need you this month

Every open or due milestone this month on one line, and the three companies to look at first, each with its reason.

  • Blocked: a milestone missed or a request turned down in the last 60 days
  • A health you set by hand always wins
  • On a phone the line becomes a day-by-day list

Questions Programme Managers Ask

Owners and programme admins, one email for each programme they manage, every Monday at 08:00 in your organisation's time zone. A programme with nothing to report that week is skipped. Turn it off, or preview this Monday's email, in Settings under Notifications.
No. The counts come from the programme's own records. Summarise my week is optional: IdeaScore AI reads only the week's counts, people are sent as Person A and Person B, and any line with a figure the card does not show is left out.
No. Your order, pins and hidden cards are yours, they follow you to any device you sign in on, and each page keeps its own. Hiding a card never changes a figure for anyone.
No. It proposes; you accept, swap or skip each team, and nothing is assigned until you save. One Undo puts the whole round back.
Counts, never people: no applicant, judge or voter is named, and no score per team is shown. Winners appear only as your public results already show them. Send it as an A4 PDF or a private link you can stop at any time.
