Design partner programme

10 named design partners.
One fully supervised benchmark, no fee.

The first 10 owner's-engineer and mid-tier EPC teams that meet the criteria below receive a 48-hour supervised P&ID / IFR review benchmark on one of their real deliverables at no cost. Everyone else pays the standard £750 pilot fee, credited against the first project pack.

You qualify if

All three conditions hold.

We only run free benchmarks for teams who can actually adopt SpecSense. That protects your time and ours.

  • You have a real live project.

    Not a demo drawing. An IFR/IFC gate coming up in the next 30–90 days, or a live revision closeout backlog on a real package.

  • You can bring a decision-maker to the debrief.

    Head of Engineering, Project Engineering Manager, Discipline Lead or Technical Director — someone who can approve a project pack if the benchmark lands.

  • You permit anonymised publication of aggregate results.

    We publish the numbers (findings, precision, turnaround, hours avoided) with your name and project details fully redacted. Your IP never leaves the room.

Not the right fit

We politely decline.

If any of the below applies, the £750 paid pilot is the right path. It is fully credited against your first project pack.

  • Free consulting without a real project or gate
  • ‘Just curious’ evaluations with no route to purchase
  • Requests that require completed SOC 2 today (available Q4 2026)
  • Requests for autonomous certification or unsupervised sign-off
What you get

The same 48-hour supervised deliverable as paying customers.

Design partners are not a stripped-down tier. You get the full supervised pilot output, adjudicated against your existing manual review as the baseline.

One deliverable

P&ID, isometric, datasheet or HAZOP register from your live package.

Full supervised review

AI extraction + Chartered-Engineer triage, evidence verification and severity.

48-hour turnaround

Signed comment register, marked-up PDF, adjudication worksheet.

30-min technical debrief

Findings walked line by line with your discipline lead and decision-maker.

Slots are named and limited to 10.

Once the first ten design-partner benchmarks are contracted, the programme closes until the next cohort. Apply early.
