This web site provides the features of the Ripose CASPAR engine (help site). 

The Ripose CASPAR engine is a computer assisted strategic planning and reasoning tool designed as an artificial intelligent (AI) thought processor to automate the Ripose Technique. Caspar provides the repository for all the objects developed using the Ripose Technique (framework) which helps to rapidly clarify an organisation's objectives and strategies.

The Ripose Technique will enable you to rapidly identify and document goals (identify your strengths and weaknesses), identify business rules (measures), develop a robust knowledge architecture, develop strategies and systems (to create a proof of concept), help design data bases and prototype applications (to create a proof of logical).

The following table shows the features of the  Ripose CASPAR engine and provides a quick tour of it. Note: days are an estimate based on a medium sized organisation and figures could vary by ± 20%. A better estimation will be made on acceptance of the initial agreement to commit.
