Free participation in exchange for useful feedback.

There is no fee for the pilot. Participants agree to provide structured feedback after delivery so that the assessment, dashboard, report, and workflow can be improved.

Testimonials are not required. If a participant is satisfied, PMI may invite them to provide one. Nothing is published unless the participant approves the exact wording, name, company, and attribution.

Confidential evidence belongs in the secure workspace.

Assessment data and documents are available only to authorised users. Programme or partner access is limited to information covered by the participant’s explicit sharing choices.
