Allocating points is a relatively cold way of scoring ideas. Money is closer to most people’s hearts than points. The notion of spending money grabs their attention, and they are much more careful about deciding how to allocate it.
A focus on money also reminds people of the final goal of most creative and inventive activities: to create sustainability and profit.
