How a pilot works
A pilot takes one problem, runs for 8 to 12 weeks for a fixed fee, and ends with written results.
One problem, one fixed fee
8 to 12 weeks
From agreed scope to written results.
- Fixed fee
- USD 25,000 to 60,000, agreed before work starts
- Scope
- One design or maintenance problem with a result you can measure
- Result
- Written results your engineers can check
- Available for
- Generative design, and digital twins and maintenance
Four steps
Choose one problem
We agree one design or maintenance problem with a result you can measure within 8 to 12 weeks, and fix the scope and fee before work starts.
Audit the data
We agree data-use terms first. Then we check what data you can share, and price any preparation work separately and up front.
Build and validate
We build the models with your engineers, on your data, and check every output against your standard.
Report the results
You get written results: what worked, what did not, and the assumptions, validation status and sources behind each output. Your engineers decide what to use.
Every output can be checked
Every output carries its assumptions, its validation status against your standard, and a link to its source.
- Assumptions
- What the model took as given, written out so an engineer can challenge it.
- Validation status
- Whether the output meets your standard, and which clause it was checked against.
- Source
- A link back to the data, drawing or document it came from.
Your engineers make the final call
Ingot supports engineering decisions. It does not sign off designs. We agree data-use terms before any data is shared, and keep each client’s data separate.
Bring us one problem you can measure
Design partners get a fixed-scope pilot on one design or maintenance problem, built with their engineers and checked against their standards.
