Bring clarity and control to incoming demand
TransparentChoice helps you cut through the noise of new requests — creating a transparent, data-driven intake process that filters out low-value work, protects capacity, and ensures the most important initiatives get the resources they need.
In your briefing: we’ve helped leaders quickly regain control of overloaded and misaligned portfolios — and we’ll show you what’s possible for your own right now. No prep or project data required.
The Problem
Ideas and requests flood in from every direction — departments, stakeholders, and customers — but there’s no consistent way to capture and evaluate them. Everything feels urgent, prioritization becomes reactive and political, and teams end up overwhelmed and off-course.
In other cases, there’s no simple way for front-line teams to surface ideas at all, so valuable opportunities never make it into the portfolio. Either way, the PMO is under pressure and demand is out of control.
The Solution
TransparentChoice gives you a structured, transparent way to manage demand. Define a data-driven “front door” that adds just enough structure to decision-making without turning the PMO into the template police.
Add models for value, risk, or effort; create steps to assign seed funding; establish a quarterly review board to assess business cases — all connected in a clear, automated workflow that keeps stakeholders aligned.

How TransparentChoice Is Different
How we solve what spreadsheets, PPM tools, and unstructured meetings can’t.
Spreadsheets can’t handle real prioritization
They hide bias, collapse under complexity, and fragment collaboration. TransparentChoice uses decision science to make trade-offs explicit and collaboration structured — so teams align quickly.
PPM tools are built for delivery, not strategic choice.
They manage schedules and resources, but they cannot create the shared priorities the portfolio needs. TransparentChoice fills the strategic alignment gap that comes before PPM.
Leadership alignment becomes structured and scalable
Leaders already discuss priorities, but without structure, each team interprets decisions differently. TransparentChoice turns those discussions into a shared model everyone can anchor decisions to.
Built on AHP — the gold standard for complex choices
Used by NASA, governments, and global enterprises. TransparentChoice is one of the few platforms purpose-built to apply AHP to portfolio decision-making.
Shaped with real-world PMO & strategy experts
Our method is refined with practitioners who run real portfolios — people who understand how alignment breaks down and how to fix it. You inherit proven practices used in leading organizations, not vendor theory.
Alignment before execution — our core philosophy
Portfolios underperform because planning starts without shared priorities. TransparentChoice aligns leaders first so the entire organization executes with clarity and focus.

Why Inaction Hurts
The Cost of an Underperforming Portfolio
Portfolio underperformance quietly destroys value — draining budget, capacity, and momentum.
When priorities are unclear, low-impact work absorbs resources, strategic initiatives slip, and leadership confidence declines. Addressing the root causes early can rapidly reveal where to act and how to restore alignment.
And the longer it continues, the faster the impact compounds — making it harder to recover lost value.
