Documents from your idea

IPGuru writes documents from your Idea: disclosures, briefs, descriptions, plans and more. Each one is a draft you read, with an evaluation, before you accept it.

Four tabs, in order

From choice to finished document

Choose documents

Each document shows whether it is ready. Ready and Thin can both be generated; Thin means more input would improve it. Stale means the Idea has changed since it was made. Tick several to generate a set. All available ticks the documents written for the goals you chose.

Prepare and generate

If something is missing, Resolve inputs shows exactly what. Open that part of the scenario, save your change, then come back and check again. Optional improvements can be skipped. Nothing starts until you choose Generate.

Jobs

Generation runs on IPGuru's servers. Follow it here, or leave: a notification tells you when it is done.

Produced documents

Read the current version. Its evaluation says whether it meets the bar, its weakest part, and what to improve, in words before numbers. Accept it, or tell Iris what to change: that makes a new version for review, and the one you read stays as it was.

Downloads

Download a finished document as PDF or Word. Every export is kept in the scenario's Vault beside the document.

How many documents

The number of document types you can generate depends on your membership. A locked document names the level that includes it. See Pricing.

Read before you use

A document can leave IPGuru, so read it in full. Check it against the current Idea, look for claims stated as facts that are only proposals, and check what is still unanswered. A high evaluation score does not replace your own review.

Coverage of documents

The top of Documents shows, by audience, whether each document would read thin, so you can see what to strengthen before generating.
