Pilot

6–8 week restricted pilot

Test your weakest claim on a real project — with evidence import, structured review, a report-style output, and a clear continue / adjust / stop recommendation.

6–8 week restricted pilot

You need to know whether CIIS catches claim risk before your next report — in your data, your governance context, and with the people who sign off. A restricted pilot answers that on a real project, not a slide deck.

Pilots are facilitated and scoped in writing before work begins. CIIS is not open self-serve general availability. The point is to run a bounded test with a real output, not to sell you a subscription.

Commercial terms: Commercial terms are scoped per pilot and discussed after the scoping call. There is no public subscription pricing today.

Is this the right pilot for you?

A restricted pilot works best in specific conditions. Read both lists before enquiring.

Good fit signals

  • You have a specific reporting deadline or claim you are not confident about

    CIIS works best when there is a real question to answer, not a general interest in 'impact measurement'.

  • You work in a council, NGO, PHN, funder, or community health organisation

    These contexts have the reporting pressure, multi-stakeholder accountability, and evidence complexity CIIS is designed for.

  • Your evidence is messy — spreadsheets, surveys, case notes, proxies

    If your evidence were already clean and your claims already defensible, you would not need a pilot.

  • Someone on your team can commit 2–4 hours across 6–8 weeks

    Pilots are facilitated, not self-serve. They require a real person reviewing real evidence.

  • You are preparing a board pack, funder acquittal, grant report, or public impact statement

    These are the moments claim risk is highest — and where a pilot produces the most usable output.

Not a good fit

  • You need software to make funding or commissioning decisions automatically
  • You need a full grant lifecycle CRM
  • You need immediate self-serve access without a guided process
  • You need population-wide causal evidence from a six-week engagement
  • You want a tool that turns weak evidence into strong claims

If you are unsure, send an enquiry anyway. We will be honest about fit on the scoping call.

What to expect week by week

  1. Week 1

    You agree what success looks like and what the pilot must answer.

  2. Week 2

    You see your first evidence brought in — and where the gaps are.

  3. Weeks 3–4

    You review what the evidence supports before anything goes external.

  4. Weeks 5–6

    You get a report-style output and a clear recommendation: continue, adjust, or stop.

What you receive

  • Setup around your real program and reporting question — not a generic tour
  • Walkthrough of outcomes, measures, and what the evidence supports
  • Checkpoints with your executives or program leads
  • Written recommendation on fit and next steps

What to include in your enquiry

The more specific you are, the faster we can scope a useful pilot. You do not need to have answers to all of these — gaps are fine.

  • Your weakest claim or reporting question

    The sentence or statement you are least confident about, or the question your next report must answer.

  • Organisation type and reporting context

    Council / NGO / PHN / Funder / Other. Who you report to — board, funder, government, public.

  • Evidence available

    What data, surveys, case notes, or records you have. Even rough descriptions help.

  • Reporting deadline or pressure

    When you need to report, and whether there is a procurement or governance timeline attached.

  • What success looks like

    What would make this pilot worthwhile for your organisation.

What happens after you enquire

No automated onboarding. No self-serve trial. Here is what actually happens.

  1. 1

    We read your enquiry

    We review what you have written about your claim, reporting context, and evidence. You hear back within a few business days.

  2. 2

    Short scoping call

    Thirty minutes to understand your reporting question, evidence reality, and governance context. No pitch. We will tell you if CIIS is not the right fit.

  3. 3

    Written pilot scope

    If the fit is confirmed, you receive a written scope: specific project, reporting question, what CIIS will and will not do, and what evidence is in scope.

  4. 4

    Pilot begins

    Six to eight weeks on your real data with your team. Checkpoints at each stage. A report-style output where evidence allows. A written recommendation at the end.

CIIS supports judgement; it does not replace it. Pilot scope and commitments are agreed in writing before work begins.

Tell us your weakest claim and your reporting context. We will read it carefully and respond within a few business days.

If the fit is unclear, we will say so on the scoping call — before any commitment.
