Turning good inputs
into great decisions.

Most briefs, bids, and tenders lose something between the meeting room and the page. iQ is the layer that keeps the thinking intact. Structured, challenged, and ready to sign off.

About

The best thinking deserves a better system.

iQ is a platform for how modern organisations brief, bid, and tender. It replaces scattered docs and inconsistent standards with structured workflows, embedded challenge, and work that gets sharper every time it’s used.

 

Features

Structured Frameworks for Every Brief

Structured Frameworks for Every Brief

Every brief follows a defined pillar structure and workflow, tuned to a Brand or Agency lens. With 17 question models across 6 workflow modes, iQ handles strategy, creative, editorial, design, and production with consistent inputs, clearer thinking, and reliable decisions.

Workflow-Aware Questioning

Workflow-Aware Questioning

iQ guides teams through the right questions at the right time, shaped by the workflow and intent of the brief. Duplication drops, gaps surface early, and the thinking stays aligned as it develops.

Contextual Intelligence Engine

Contextual Intelligence Engine

Specialised AI agents work inside a controlled framework. Every prompt, insight, and recommendation is structured, traceable, and built to support human decision-making, never replace it.

Live Narrative Scoring

Live Narrative Scoring

iQ evaluates your brief as it's written, scoring every pillar against clarity, completeness, and decision-readiness. Weak narrative, missing context, and soft objectives are surfaced in real time, with guidance on exactly what to fix and how to lift the quality.

Risk and Timeline Intelligence

Risk and Timeline Intelligence

iQ identifies delivery risks, dependencies, and time pressure early, helping teams test feasibility and make informed calls before work progresses.

Connected Deliverables and Dependencies

Connected Deliverables and Dependencies

iQ maps deliverables as connected work, showing how outputs relate, what they depend on, and how they impact scope, timeline, and risk across the whole brief.

Structured Amendments and Version Control

Structured Amendments and Version Control

Once approved, iQ tracks every change as a structured update linked to the original brief, keeping context intact and showing how decisions evolve over time.

Organisational Learning and Memory

Organisational Learning and Memory

iQ builds a structured memory of how your organisation works, capturing patterns across briefs, decisions, and outcomes so quality and consistency compound with every cycle.

About iQ

A system that adapts to how your organisation works.

iQ doesn’t impose a format on your teams. It gives them a structured place to work, shaped by the standards your organisation sets. Your templates, your tone, your approval flows, your commercial logic, your risk thresholds.

Those standards become the quiet layer behind every brief, bid, and tender. Teams stay aligned without being reminded. Partners plug in without drifting. Work stays consistent, controlled, and true to intent, without the overhead of policing it.

The result is clarity, consistency, and control, applied quietly in the background.

A learning system, not a document generator.

iQ isn’t trying to write your briefs for you. It’s trying to make your teams better at writing them.

As work moves through the platform, iQ highlights what matters, flags what’s missing, surfaces dependencies and risk, and reinforces what good looks like in your context. Every interaction sharpens the next one. Over time, the platform becomes a record of how your organisation makes decisions, not just a place where those decisions get typed up.

AI is part of how this works, but it’s deliberately in a supporting role. iQ uses AI to reinforce learning and support judgment. It doesn’t try to replace it.

iQ Brief

Briefs that shape better decisions, not just better documents.

iQ Brief helps teams define intent, surface what’s missing, and resolve dependencies before work begins. The result is a brief your team can act on with confidence, and your partners can execute without guesswork.

How it works

iQ Brief doesn’t generate briefs for you. It strengthens the thinking behind them.

As teams build a brief, iQ structures intent across five pillars, scores quality in real time, flags gaps and dependencies, and guides each section toward a clear standard. Less experienced marketers develop more complete thinking. Experienced operators move faster with fewer rounds of review.

Why it matters

Inside iQ, a brief isn’t a static document that gets written, sent, and forgotten. It’s the reference point every downstream decision ladders back to. When the brief is clear, execution is cleaner, approvals are faster, and rework drops.

Over time, the standard embedded in iQ Brief becomes your organisation’s shared definition of what good looks like.

Ideal for

Marketing teams and campaign leaders who need structured, execution-ready briefs before committing budget.

Key features

  • Pillar-based structured brief builder
  • AI scoring and improvement guidance
  • Version control and governance workflows
  • Campaign alignment and strategic laddering
  • Review mode with approval visibility

iQ BidComing Soon

Should we bid? And how do we answer it?

iQ Bid helps commercial and delivery teams triage opportunities, shape winning responses, and sign off with confidence.

Send it with confidence

iQ Bid gives commercial, delivery, and leadership teams a structured way to triage opportunities, shape responses, and sign off with confidence, grounded in your organisation’s standards and informed by every bid that came before.

Triage with judgement, not gut feel

Not every tender is worth pursuing. iQ Bid scores opportunities against your organisation’s commercial logic, risk thresholds, and win criteria, so go/no-go decisions are made against a consistent standard rather than who’s in the room.

Answer the tender, properly

Once a bid is greenlit, iQ Bid structures the response. It surfaces what each section needs, flags gaps and dependencies, and pulls in relevant context from past bids and brand governance. Teams move from blank page to reviewable draft faster, with fewer rounds of rework.

Review, challenge, submit

Before submission, iQ Bid applies the same review discipline your briefs run through. Gaps are flagged, inconsistencies are challenged, and sign-off is visible. What leaves your organisation reflects what your organisation actually stands for.

Ideal for

Bid managers, capture leads, and commercial teams running structured tender and proposal processes.

Key features

  • Opportunity triage scored against organisational standards
  • Structured response builder with governance and gap-surfacing
  • AI-assisted context retrieval from past bids and brand knowledge
  • Review mode with approval visibility
  • Shared workspace for commercial, delivery, and legal input

iQ TenderComing Soon

Issue sharper tenders. Evaluate smarter responses.

iQ Tender helps teams create structured tender documents, define what a good response looks like, and evaluate supplier submissions against a consistent benchmark.

The same discipline you apply to briefs, now applied to how you buy.

iQ Tender gives teams a structured way to issue tenders, set the benchmark for what good looks like, and evaluate supplier responses against a consistent standard. What you ask for, and how you judge the answer, is governed by the same standards that shape the rest of your work.

Issue tenders with clarity

iQ Tender structures the document before it leaves your organisation. It clarifies what’s being asked, why it matters, and what level of detail is expected, so suppliers respond to the same question rather than their interpretation of it. Fewer ambiguous briefs. Fewer follow-up clarification rounds.

Set the benchmark before responses come in

For every ask, iQ Tender auto-generates a view of what a strong response would look like, grounded in your organisation’s standards and drawing on past tenders. The benchmark is set before evaluation begins, so judgment stays consistent across reviewers, regardless of who’s in the room.

Qualify supplier responses with structure

As responses come in, iQ Tender helps your team evaluate them section by section against the benchmark you defined. Strengths, gaps, and risks are surfaced consistently. Decisions are traceable. Procurement, legal, and delivery teams work from the same page rather than reconciling five different opinions over email.

Ideal for

Procurement leads, commercial teams, and delivery heads running structured tender and supplier selection processes.

Key features

  • Structured tender document builder with governance
  • Auto-generated response benchmark per section
  • AI-assisted context drawn from past tenders and brand knowledge
  • Evaluation workspace with consistent scoring across reviewers
  • Shared space for procurement, legal, and delivery input
