A Transparent, Auditable Process for a Public Funding Call

Defensible eligibility and a traceable record: the audit log and exports a public grant call needs.

Who Works in It

  • Programme officer

    Configures the public call, tracks eligibility screening, and is the one who has to answer for how a decision was reached.

  • Empanelled reviewer

    Scores under public accountability, having declared any conflict of interest before being assigned an application.

  • Grant applicant

    Applies through a public form and tracks status transparently, without chasing an office by phone or email.

A Public Call From Notification to Disbursement

The stages a government scheme is expected to run, each one traceable afterwards.

  1. Call notified

    A public application window opens, with eligibility criteria and guidance attached to the form.

  2. Eligibility screening

    Incomplete or ineligible applications are set aside with a recorded reason.

  3. Panel evaluation

    Empanelled reviewers, having declared any conflict, score against a published rubric.

  4. Public results

    A results page and a committee report carry the ranking into public view.

  5. Grant disbursement

    Funding follows the audited ranking the panel approved.

Review

Every decision on the record, with a reason attached

Approve, reject, reopen — each carries a stated reason and lands in the audit log. Notes and tags keep the panel's reasoning inside the record itself, ready for whoever is asked to account for it later.

Decide

A results page and a report built for public accountability

Publish a results page once the panel's decision is final, and export the same ranking as a committee report for an oversight body — the record and the announcement come from the same data.

What Government Programme Teams Use Most

  • Audit log

    Every approval, rejection, reopen and edit is timestamped and attributable, for accountability and RTI-style requests.

  • Public results page

    Publish the outcome of a call once the decision is made, without a separate announcement process.

  • Approve, reject and undo with a reason

    Every triage decision carries a stated reason and can be reopened, never silently overwritten.

  • Conflict-of-interest declarations

    An empanelled reviewer declares a conflict before assignment, kept out of that application entirely.

  • Data residency through self-hosting

    Run on your own server or VM so applicant data never leaves infrastructure you control.

  • Committee Excel export

    A ranked, exportable record for an audit committee or an oversight body.

  • Role-based access and session lockout

    Reviewer access is scoped to their role, with re-authentication required for sensitive edits.

  • Single sign-on and API access

    Google, Microsoft and domain sign-in, and the IdeaScore API v1.5 in public beta on Professional, Enterprise and Campus.

Questions Grant Teams Ask

Yes. Self-hosting on a server or VM you control keeps data residency inside your own infrastructure; institutions run it this way today.
Yes — publish the outcome of a call once the decision is final, generated from the same ranking the panel approved.
A reviewer declares a conflict before assignment, and that application is kept out of their queue entirely, not scored and set aside afterwards.
Every approval, rejection, reopen and edit is timestamped and attributed in the audit log, exportable alongside the committee report.
