Know what to renew, redesign or stop.
Technology policy and innovation programmes need evidence of real outcomes before renewal, redesign or funding.
I independently test the KPIs, selection criteria, incentives and delivery structure behind that decision.
You receive a clear written basis for what to retain, redesign or stop – defensible to boards, funders and public stakeholders.
Start with a Decision Review: one decision, 2–3 weeks, with scope and fee agreed before the work begins.
INAM: what the KPIs incentivize
“Arise Innovations conducted an analysis of our Advanced Materials Competition accelerator programme that helped identify a previously unclear bottleneck: how our KPI architecture shapes venture behavior – and where that creates mid-term risk. This is a different layer and quality of input than operational feedback and gave us a concrete basis to rethink what we actually want to incentivize. We recommend Arise Innovations to any programme operator or ecosystem that wants to understand if their current structure is built to produce the desired outcomes - not just how well it is being executed.”
– Oliver Hasse, Innovation Network for Advanced Materials
For institutions & programmes
1
Decision Review
A board-defensible view of one consequential decision. Identify the binding constraint, test the evidence and set explicit conditions to continue, change or stop. For programme leaders, funders and institutional sponsors.
For one consequential decision that cannot safely be made on current evidence.
You receive:
-
an independent assessment of the decision
-
the binding constraint and material evidence gaps
-
explicit conditions to continue, change or stop
-
a 3–5 page executive decision brief
Process: Document review, up to three stakeholder conversations, written assessment and leadership readout. Timeline: 2–3 weeks.
Offers & Pricing in the brief below.
2
Portfolio Diagnostic
Understand where a programme or portfolio loses decision quality. Examine selection, support, evidence and progression logic; identify structural gaps and redesign priorities before the next funding or programme cycle.
For programme or portfolio leaders who need to decide what to retain, change or stop before the next cycle.
You receive:
-
assessment of selection, support and progression logic
-
identification of structural gaps and portfolio risks
-
prioritised recommendations
-
a 10–12 page diagnostic and executive decision brief
Process: Evidence review, selected stakeholder interviews, portfolio analysis and leadership readout. Timeline: 4–6 weeks.

Infrastructure Setup
Turn diagnostic findings into a repeatable decision process. Define evidence standards, review gates and decision records that help teams allocate support and capital consistently across a programme or portfolio.
Scoped and quoted after diagnostics.
For institutions that want to embed consistent decision quality across a programme or portfolio.
You receive:
-
evidence standards and decision gates
-
renewal, escalation and exit conditions
-
decision records and governance routines
-
implementation guidance for internal teams
Process: Scoped from an existing diagnostic or a defined institutional decision problem.
Timeline and fee: Quoted after scoping.
