Pilot programme

Build the first Kettle AI platform pilots with us

A clear seven-stage pathway from discovery to evaluation, designed to create useful evidence for your organisation and a confident basis for future decisions.

  1. 01

    Discovery

    Weeks 1–2

    A structured conversation covering portfolio characteristics, resident engagement capacity, data protection responsibilities and what a credible result would need to look like for your board.

  2. 02

    Feasibility and cohort design

    Weeks 3–6

    We assess property suitability, agree the size and composition of the cohort, and write down the measurement framework — baseline period, comparison method, assumptions and known limitations.

  3. 03

    Governance and agreements

    Weeks 5–10

    Data sharing agreement, DPIA, resident communications approved by your team, complaints route agreed, and the commercial terms contracted.

  4. 04

    Resident engagement

    Weeks 8–14

    Co-branded resident page and materials go live. Residents register interest voluntarily. Eligibility is confirmed by you, not by us.

  5. 05

    Baseline and installation

    Weeks 10–20

    A baseline period is recorded before any hardware changes behaviour. Qualified installers then fit units at times arranged with each household.

  6. 06

    Measured operation

    Ongoing

    The platform operates the batteries. Performance is measured against the baseline and reported to you at agreed intervals.

  7. 07

    Evaluation and publication

    End of cohort

    We turn pilot learning into a clear written evaluation, giving your organisation practical evidence to guide the next decision and the potential path to scale.

Responsibilities

Who does what

Measurement

Agree what success looks like from the start

Before the pilot begins, we agree the baseline, measures, assumptions and reporting approach with you. This creates transparent evidence your organisation can use to evaluate the opportunity and consider the path to scale.

Next step

Start with a discovery conversation

No commitment attached. Participation in any pilot is subject to eligibility and to contract.

For example: eligibility, commercial model, data protection, resident engagement.

We use these details only to respond to your enquiry and to arrange a conversation. See our privacy notice. Participation in any pilot is subject to eligibility and to contract.

Where we are today

Founding pilots are now being developed with UK housing providers. Participation will be arranged through partner organisations and will be subject to property eligibility, resident consent and agreed pilot terms.
