Research portfolio
SmartCrete CRC.
A research portfolio valued at more than $50 million, made visible as one connected body of evidence.
Start a conversationThe pressure
Serious research. Fragmented evidence. No single view of the whole.
SmartCrete’s portfolio carried project reports, milestones, partner records, outputs, innovations, maturity evidence and board obligations across different systems and formats.
The problem was not a lack of information. It was the time and judgement required to assemble that information into a portfolio view that leaders could interrogate, trust and defend.
What Cylentis built
One evidence model. Multiple ways to see and use it.
Cylentis mapped the portfolio as a connected system of projects, people, partners, outputs, evidence and claims—then built the intelligence surfaces around the decisions SmartCrete actually needed to make.
Portfolio intelligence
A coherent view across projects, pathways, partners, outputs, maturity and evidence posture.
Governed interrogation
Plain-language questions answered against cited portfolio evidence, with uncertainty and missing evidence made visible.
Reporting and impact
Board, funder and impact work supported by structured evidence rather than repeated manual assembly.
What became possible
The portfolio became something the organisation could interrogate.
The portfolio now operates through a connected evidence model that can be interrogated across projects, outputs and maturity.
Quarterly reporting preparation that previously absorbed approximately two and a half weeks can now be approached through an always-available evidence model, while the team can ask portfolio questions and trace the answer back to source.
Cylentis took the time to deeply understand our requirements along with the environment and systems that we operate within, and translated that into an AI-enabled interrogation tool that allows us to efficiently analyse large volumes of qualitative project data. The quality of the solution has exceeded our expectations, delivering clear, actionable insights that are already strengthening how we monitor and manage our portfolio.
