Function Worksheet name Overview of IPscore 3.0 content
Start Information Instructions Input A. Legal status B. Technology C. Market conditions D. Finance E. Strategy Financial result Output Output – Radar profiles Output – Financial results Output – Opp risk matrix Risk factors Opportunity factors Printout of all default questions and possible answers
Printout standard IPscore on A3 While the core principles of IPscore remain unchanged, the new version introduces some improvements. Now, for answers that are numerical values, you can enter numbers of your choosing, e.g. fractions of years for the time to market. You do this instead of selecting the closest numerical values from a predefined list, as was previously the case. This makes the evaluations more precise, realistic and personalised.
Most of the questions can, however, still be answered using a dropdown menu with a set of predefined answers. As before, the set of predefined answers can be reworded or adapted according to specific needs.
