Pilots & Technical Validation

The distance between a working technology and a signed contract is evidence.

Industrial and municipal buyers have watched vendors arrive with impressive claims and leave without delivering, and they have learned to assume the worst until shown otherwise. What moves them is performance data collected under conditions that resemble their own operation, presented by someone who understands the process well enough to answer the follow-up questions.

That is the gap we fill. We work alongside technology developers as the process expertise they don't have in-house: designing pilots that produce defensible data, setting up the procedures behind them, interpreting the results, and translating them into terms the buyer will understand.

WHAT WE DO

From protocol to the report a buyer signs off on

Pilot design & protocol development

Test plans, sampling schedules, and success criteria agreed with the buyer before the first sample is taken.

Operating & sampling procedures

Clear, step-by-step operating and sampling procedures, with logging set up so every result can be traced.

Performance evaluation

Results compared against baseline and against the claim, including what didn't work and why.

Technical documentation

Reports and data packages written for the engineers, operators, and procurement staff who will read them.

Independent assessment

We act as a third party, evaluating claims for buyers and sellers deciding whether a technology is the right fit.

Grant & funding support

Support securing government and private funding for emerging technologies, environmental restoration, and R&D projects.

HOW A PILOT RUNS

Four stages, agreed up front

  1. 01 · PROTOCOL

    Define the question, the success criteria, and the sampling plan with the buyer.

  2. 02 · BASELINE

    Establish the site as it is, so every later number has a reference.

  3. 03 · TRIAL

    The technology runs under logged conditions, with the data reviewed as it arrives.

  4. 04 · REPORT

    Results, limitations, and a recommendation, in the buyer's terms.
