IPA Gateway Assessment

Walk into your next gateway review with confidence, not hope

You're accountable for the outcome — but how confident are you that your submission pack genuinely covers what IPA will look for? The platform assesses your entire review pack against all 236 criteria across 6 gate stages, with evidence your reviewers can verify.

How it works
From review pack to readiness report
1

Connect your documents

Upload your review pack or connect SharePoint for continuous monitoring. Business case, benefits plan, risk register, programme management plan — every document processed.

2

AI maps evidence to all 236 criteria across 6 gate stages

Two agents search your documents in parallel — semantic and keyword — cross-validating results before any rating is assigned. Every finding cited to the exact paragraph.

3

Act before the reviewer arrives

RAG-rated dashboard shows where to focus. Action tracking keeps your team on course. Board-ready PDF report ready before the review date, not after the damage is done.

Coverage

All 218 criteria.
Zero gaps in scope.

Mapped verbatim from official IPA sources — not summarised, not interpreted. The actual criteria your reviewers will apply, structured across all five business case areas.

Strategic Case
Policy alignment, strategic need, benefits framework
43
Economic Case
Options analysis, VfM, OBC/FBC alignment
48
Commercial Case
Procurement strategy, contract form, supplier market
37
Financial Case
Spending authority, affordability, funding profile
44
Management Case
Governance, SRO accountability, risk, reporting

Outputs

Assessment Finding
AMBER
E0.04 — Benefits Quantification

The Benefits Realisation Plan identifies key benefits but quantification is incomplete. Monetised values are provided for 3 of 7 benefit streams. Non-monetised benefits lack proxy indicators for tracking.

Evidence Found
1
Benefits Realisation Plan, page 8
"Three primary benefit streams have been quantified with NPV calculations..."
2
Full Business Case, page 31
"Social value and wider economic benefits are noted but not yet quantified..."
Recommendation: Quantify remaining 4 benefit streams or provide proxy indicators with baseline measurements.
Why it's different
Built by someone who's sat in front of an IPA reviewer

Evidence, not opinion

Every RAG rating cites the specific paragraph in your documents. An IPA reviewer, your SRO, or an auditor can verify every claim. No black-box AI conclusions.

Built for government data

Everything processed and stored on Azure UK South. Not routed through US data centres. No programme data leaves UK jurisdiction. ICO registered.

Continuous, not periodic

Connect SharePoint and IPA Gateway Assessment monitors continuously. Alerted when readiness drops below threshold — not when you're already scrambling two weeks before the review.

Stop guessing.
Start knowing.
