Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention include systems and methods for systematically evaluating idea quality in accordance with specified rules. In addition, such assessments may also be used to initiate workflows for improving the quality of a given idea. Some embodiments may provide for assessment of the novelty of idea in real-time (e.g., during an innovation or ideation session). Such initial assessments may further be updated in real-time as the idea is discussed further. Such assessment may rely on voice-activated and intelligence-driven searching of various data sources to identify the context of the idea so as to provide an objective basis for the assessment.
