How the Platform Works

Sign-in

A welcoming sign-in your IT team will approve

Eight short slides beside sign-in on a large screen, clean on a phone. Google or Microsoft sign-in, and your own domain for staff on Enterprise.

  • Two-step sign-in, which owners can require for owners and admins
  • After too many wrong passwords, sign-in pauses and says when it opens again
  • Devices, sessions and sign-in history for every person

  • Choose how public pages, pitch screens, share cards and emails look
  • No Powered by line on Professional, Enterprise and Campus
  • White-label: an add-on on Professional, included with Enterprise and a Campus licence

Notifications

Told what matters, and nothing more

Mentions and assignments in two lines each, grouped by day. Choose how each kind reaches you, and get a Monday brief per programme at 08:00.

  • A quiet week sends no brief
  • Turn the brief off in Settings, Notifications
  • Owners post announcements and see how many opened them
Notification settings with the Monday Brief and what you hear about, by email or in the app.

One email each Monday at 08:00 for every programme you manage.

Guided tours

A guided tour for every kind of programme

A tour for every main page and every kind of programme. Help Centre cards show where you stopped, so you carry on from that step.

  • Continue from the step you stopped at
  • Tours use clearly labelled example data while a page is empty
Walkthrough cards in the Help Centre for Meridian Merit-cum-Means Scholarship, all the same size: the Scholarship Dashboard Tour with Continue from step 4 of 9 and a progress bar, the Eligibility and Documents Tour marked Done, and the Awards and Amounts and Instalments and Renewals tours with Start the tour.
A scholarship has its own walkthroughs in the Help Centre. Every card is the same size and shows where you stopped.
Every day

An app on your desktop, and honest about problems

Install it on a computer or phone. A page that cannot load says so, with a reference to send support. The status page shows 90 days at a glance.

  • Unsaved edits kept on the page if a session ends
  • Applicants never see the install entry

Trust

The standards we follow, with the evidence

The standards we work to, each with its evidence and limits. Every document support opens in your organisation is recorded in your audit log.

  • Support access you can see, document by document, in your audit log
  • Erasing an applicant's data also clears their date of birth and other personal details
  • Names and contact details never sent to IdeaScore AI
How we protect your data
The Software Bill of Materials (CycloneDX) entry in the Trust Centre, self-assessed by IdeaScore: every component pinned to an exact version, a CycloneDX bill covering the backend and the frontend, the SBOM (CycloneDX JSON) evidence marked Published, and its limits.
The Trust Centre links the software bill of materials, with what is in place, the evidence and the limits.

Questions IT Teams Ask

Yes, on Enterprise. Owners can require staff to sign in with your Google Workspace or Microsoft Entra domain, with a preview of who is affected and named exemptions. Google and Microsoft sign-in is available wherever your organisation allows it. Applicants are never affected.
There is no grace period. The organisation becomes read-only straight away and IdeaScore AI stops, but nothing is deleted: everything you built is still there to read and export. Choose a plan to open it again.
A paid plan has a grace period after it ends, and a strip says until when. After that the organisation becomes read-only: your data is safe and can be read and exported, but nothing new can be added until the plan is renewed.
Yes. Owners export the whole organisation as one ZIP at any time, and also for 90 days after a plan ends. Each record is there as JSON and as CSV, with a README that explains the files.
Every night, encrypted with AES-256-GCM before it leaves the server and stored away from the servers that run the app. We keep 30 daily and 12 monthly copies; older ones are removed automatically.
Your name, tagline, logos and colours on public pages, pitch screens, share cards and emails, with no Powered by line on Professional, Enterprise and Campus. White-label adds your own web address, emails from your own domain, and your own sign-in headline and description; it is an add-on on Professional and included with Enterprise and a Campus licence. Inside the app, the IdeaScore lockup and violet buttons stay, so it reads the same for everyone.
When IdeaScore support views your organisation in a support session, every document it opens is recorded in your audit log, so you can see what was looked at.
Self-hosting on your own infrastructure, on request, is an Enterprise option. Ask a product specialist when you book a demo.
