A portfolio control layer for institutions funding multiple AI programmes: compare competing investments, approve capital scenarios, release funding in tranches, and validate realised benefits without confusing projected value with measured value.
Compare programmes and value cases on a common evidence-weighted scorecard.
Build constrained, base, growth and downside capital scenarios within a defined envelope.
Separate proposal, independent investment-committee approval and finance release authority.
Distinguish claimed benefits from independently verified benefit realisation.
CRG's workflow treats programme approval, portfolio allocation, tranche approval and cash release as separate governance events. A healthy programme may still be resized or held when portfolio economics, evidence, risk or strategic priority changes.
Each dimension is scored from 0–5 and weighted. Missing evidence remains visible; the methodology does not silently treat an unassessed dimension as positive.
Alignment to institutional mandate, executive priorities and the target operating model.
Strength of the quantified value case, NPV/return logic, capital efficiency and time to value.
Quality, provenance and verification maturity of assumptions, baselines, pilots and measured outcomes.
Programme leadership, delivery capacity, architecture maturity, dependencies and mobilisation readiness.
Availability and fitness of data, integration, models, infrastructure and operational tooling.
Control maturity across AI governance, security, safety, privacy, assurance and applicable obligations.
Availability of scarce talent, partners, organisational change capacity and operational ownership.
Downside containment, reversibility, concentration risk, failure tolerance and resilience of the investment thesis.
The Investment Office integrates with CRG AI Economics & Value Engineering, Major AI Programme Office, AI Procurement, commercial orchestration and Continuous Assurance. It is portfolio governance infrastructure—not a claim that CRG is a regulated investment manager, statutory auditor or public-sector treasury unless separately appointed and authorised for such a role.
