Wasted on Bad Ideas
Measure the Potential Proposition Value of every idea
Every innovation idea is scored against four 'P' lenses at each stage. If scores plateau or fall, you have evidence to pivot, stop or return to an earlier stage — before burning budget.

Property
Assets that need to be developed or purchased to make the idea real.
Proficiencies
New or enhanced capabilities required across people, tech and processes.
🎯
Prospect
What, where, when and why there is a genuine market opportunity to capture.
💡
Proposition
The offer being proposed to meet the prospective opportunity. Your value promise.
From idea to scale in 7 stages
Every innovation project moves through a defined funnel. You don't advance until you've met pre-defined success criteria — keeping spend controlled and outcomes sharp.
01
Define
Articulate the idea, set the hypothesis, align to strategy, and request seed funding from the Steering Group.
02
Design
Assess current state, ideate solutions, identify partners, plan the Proof of Concept, and confirm KPIs.
03
Mobilise
Assign a Product Owner and Sponsor. Form squads, agree ways of working, and unlock further funding.
04
Build & Refine
Create the solution. Produce a blueprint, development roadmap, and draft operating model changes.
05
Test & Trial
Run PoC → Colleague Pilot → Customer Pilot → Extended Pilot. Each gate requires success criteria to be met.
06
Productise
Formalise SLAs, assign technical ownership, and hand over to PMO. The idea becomes a product.
07
Sustain & Scale
Roll out, optimise, embed into OpEx. Track performance and feed learnings back into the innovation funnel.
Trusted by innovation leaders
Teams using Tech Sauce stop wasting budget on ideas that aren't working — and double down on those that are.

Common questions
What is the PPV scoring system?+
PPV stands for Potential Proposition Value. It's a scoring mechanism that measures the maturity of an innovation idea across four lenses — Property, Proficiencies, Prospect, and Proposition. In stages 1–5 each lens is scored 1–7 (max 28 per stage); in stages 6–7 the scale is 1–5 (max 20 per stage). If scores plateau or fall, that's evidence to pause, pivot or return to a previous stage before spending more.
Can I upgrade or downgrade my plan at any time?+
Yes, you can change your plan at any point. Upgrades take effect immediately. Downgrades take effect at the end of your current billing cycle. All your data and project history is preserved regardless of plan changes.
What counts as an "innovation project"?+
An innovation project is any idea you're actively tracking through the 7-stage process. Once a project reaches Sustain & Scale, it can be archived and a new project slot becomes available. Each project has its own PPV scoring history, Define and Design forms, and narrative log.
Does Tech Sauce integrate with our existing tools?+
Our roadmap includes integrations with Jira, Notion, Slack, and Microsoft Teams. Enterprise subscribers get priority access to beta integrations. In the meantime, projects and scoring data can be exported as structured reports at any stage.
Is there an onboarding process for new teams?+
All plans include a guided onboarding session with a Tech Sauce innovation specialist. We walk your team through the PPV framework, help configure your first project, and ensure your Steering Group understands how to use the platform to govern ideas effectively.
How does the 14-day trial work?+
The trial gives you full access to the platform for 14 days for a one-off payment of £9.99 — no recurring charges. You can track 1 project during the trial. At the end of the 14 days you choose which plan to continue with, or simply don't upgrade and access ends. The £9.99 trial fee is not credited against a subsequent subscription.

10. No Commercial Advice; Innovation Outcomes

Tech Sauce is a productivity and decision-support tool designed to help innovation teams structure, score, and track ideas through a defined stage-gate process. It is not, and does not purport to be, a provider of business, commercial, financial, legal, or investment advice of any kind.

The PPV scoring framework, stage-gate guidance, advisory prompts, warnings, and any other outputs generated by the Service ("Platform Outputs") are provided for informational and organisational purposes only. They are produced algorithmically based on data entered by users and do not constitute professional advice appropriate to any specific commercial situation.

Tech Sauce Ltd makes no representation, warranty, or guarantee that:

  • any idea, project, or innovation recorded in or managed through the Service will succeed commercially, financially, operationally, or otherwise;
  • following the PPV scoring methodology, stage-gate process, or any Platform Output will lead to a profitable, viable, or successful outcome;
  • any scoring result, advisory message, or recommendation within the Service is complete, accurate, or appropriate for your specific circumstances or organisation;
  • stopping, continuing, pivoting, or escalating an idea based on Platform Outputs will produce any particular result.

Sole Responsibility. The success or failure — commercial, financial, reputational, or otherwise — of any idea, project, product, or business venture that originates from, is managed through, or is influenced by use of the Service is solely the responsibility of the user and their organisation. Tech Sauce Ltd expressly disclaims all liability for any such outcome, whether or not the outcome was foreseeable and whether or not the user followed or disregarded Platform Outputs.

You are strongly encouraged to obtain independent professional advice (legal, financial, technical, or otherwise) before making any significant business or investment decision, and to apply your own professional judgement to all Platform Outputs.

11. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Tech Sauce Ltd shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, business opportunities, or anticipated savings, arising out of or in connection with your use of or inability to use the Service.

Without prejudice to section 10, Tech Sauce Ltd shall have no liability whatsoever for the commercial, financial, or operational outcome of any idea or innovation project recorded in or managed through the Service, regardless of whether any Platform Output contributed to the decision to pursue, continue, pause, or abandon that project.

Our total aggregate liability to you for all claims arising under or in connection with these Terms shall not exceed the greater of: (a) the total fees paid by you in the 12-month period immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim; or (b) £100.

12. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your account immediately if you breach these Terms or if we reasonably believe your use poses a security or legal risk. Upon termination, your right to access the Service ceases. We will retain Customer Data for 30 days post-termination, after which it may be permanently deleted. You may export your data at any time from the dashboard prior to termination.

13. Governing Law & Disputes

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes arising from or in connection with these Terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales. If you are a consumer, you may also be entitled to bring proceedings in the courts of the country where you reside.
