Strategy Evalaution Tool

Every stage gate investment decision should rest on a consistent, criteria-based evaluation of the complete strategy hypothesis — not on the quality of a presentation or the confidence of the team delivering it. The Strategy Evaluation tool provides a structured review of your complete strategy hypothesis across all six BRI Strategy Framework dimensions, evaluated against the portfolio's configured evaluation criteria for the current stage. Each criterion is assessed against the required evidence level for the stage, making it immediately visible where the strategy meets the investment threshold and where the gaps lie before the investment decision is made. For portfolio managers, the Strategy Evaluation output provides a consistent, comparable basis for investment decisions across projects. For project leads, it's a working diagnostic — a clear map of where to focus evidence-gathering effort before the next stage gate.

Key capabilities:

  • Review a complete summary of the strategy hypothesis across all six BRI Strategy Framework dimensions
  • Evaluate the strategy against the portfolio's configured evaluation criteria for the current pipeline stage
  • Compare actual evidence level to stage-required evidence level for each criterion, organized by DFV category
  • Identify criteria gaps — where evidence falls below stage requirements — to prioritize before stage gate review
  • Evaluation criteria are portfolio-configurable, ensuring consistency across all projects in the portfolio
  • Accessible to executive stakeholders for stage gate review without requiring active use of the full tool set
