BrainVaultInnovation, managed.
Turn every idea into realised value.
Most idea software is a digital suggestion box. This is a governed pipeline that carries an idea from a raw thought to reported value — evaluated, business-cased, piloted and measured.

Sample workspace with illustrative figures. Not a customer result.
An innovation management system — not another suggestion box.
The difference between collecting ideas and managing them to value is the entire product. Capture is the entry point, not the point.
Collect & wait
- A digital inbox that fills up and stalls
- Votes decide merit, not consistent scoring
- No business case, no quantified value
- Pilots tracked in scattered spreadsheets
- Nobody measures whether the value was real
Govern, mature & prove
- A governed pipeline from raw thought to realised value
- The Advisor helps sharpen every idea before it's judged
- One-click business cases on deterministic, auditable figures
- Pilots run as managed projects with KPIs
- Benefits realisation tracked planned-vs-actual
Everything from capture to proven value — in one place.
Capture → mature → decide → deliver → measure → learn, wrapped by governance and intelligence.
A governed, drag-and-drop pipeline
Configurable stage gates, approval routing and escalations move every idea from Submitted to Benefits Realization.
An Advisor on every idea
Similar ideas, suggested experts and a risk signal — grounded in your own data.
Weighted, multi-criteria scoring
Consistent merit, not vote-counting. AI proposes; a human confirms.
Quantify it — then prove it
A deterministic value calculator (auditable, never AI-invented) and planned-vs-actual benefits with achievement %.
ISO 56001 evidence, gathered as you work
A clause 4–10 readiness map that accrues evidence as a by-product of normal use.
Seven domains. One continuous flow.
Capture & ideation · direction & engagement · evaluation & decisioning · delivery & value · intelligence & governance · open innovation — all woven through by the AI Advisor.
See all 20 modulesThe AI Innovation Advisor.
An Advisor on every idea, grounded in your organisation's own knowledge. The Advisor proposes; people decide.
Guided prompting turns a rough note into structured fields.
LLM suggests inputs; the deterministic engine computes the money.
Semantic similarity over your knowledge base.
Matches an idea to people by their expertise.
A signal from the score and stated risks.
Connects promising ideas to funder criteria.
Trust by design: grounded retrieval (not guesswork), deterministic money, human-in-the-loop on every gate, and we don’t use your workspace data to train AI models.
ISO 56001 evidence, clause by clause.
ISO 56001:2024 is the first global certifiable standard for an innovation management system. Normal day-to-day use maps to clauses 4–10, so the records an assessor asks for accrue as a by-product.
Context, policy register, council decisions.
Objectives, KPIs, risk register, roles, knowledge.
Pipeline, evaluations, pilots, analytics, benefits.
Improvement register and a review-ready evidence pack.
The platform supports an organisation's path to certification; certification is granted by an accredited body, not by software.
Built with POPIA in mind.
Security & access
Tenant isolation, encryption and audit logging are foundational — not bolted on.
- Row-level security enforced in the database — every row carries a tenant_id
- Role-based, tenant-scoped permissions across 7 roles
- TLS in transit, encryption at rest, an activity log of key actions
Built for Africa
Multi-currency value tracking (Rand default), mobile-first and voice-to-text capture, and a marketplace tuned to mining, energy, agriculture & municipal challenges.
Not a concept: it's in use.
The core innovation workflow runs in production today. Some newer modules are still in beta, as marked.
Core platform
Capture, the Advisor, pipeline, evaluation, council, collaboration, dashboard.
Value & engagement
Value calculator, business case, pilots, benefits, recognition, knowledge base.
Governance & AI
ISO 56001 module & the Advisor — similar ideas, experts, risk.
Open & funding
Public marketplace, inventor portal and innovation funding.
Frequently asked questions.
The things evaluation teams ask first — governance, data, and how to see it working.
No software can — certification is granted by an accredited body. What the platform does is map day-to-day work to clauses 4–10, so the records an auditor expects are produced as a by-product of normal use.
Today the database and files are hosted in Ireland (EU) and the application runs on Vercel in the United States; hosting in an African region can be discussed for production. We don’t use your workspace data to train AI models, and we will name any AI provider before it is switched on — the full policy is in AI data use.
Isolation is enforced in the database itself — row-level security, with every row carrying a tenant identifier — alongside 7 permission roles, TLS, encryption at rest and an activity log of key actions. See the security overview.

Most platforms collect ideas.
This one helps ideas become reality.
Measurably, securely, and to an international standard — built for the African context.
