Define the cohort
Select homes and spaces that reflect the question. Agree the monitoring period with the season and property context in mind.
Choose a real service question, agree how the evidence will be used, and evaluate the approach before deciding whether to expand.
Examples include recurring damp and mould investigations, conditions around planned works, and monitoring selected empty or hard-to-visit properties.

Name the people who receive, review and act on information. Make resident communication and installation responsibilities clear.
Assess coverage, usefulness, service effort and resident experience. Establish the next decision before the pilot starts.
The pilot proposal brings the operational, technical and commercial requirements together.
| Part of the pilot | What the proposal should cover |
|---|---|
| Properties and equipment | Homes, rooms, supported measurements, placement and connectivity. |
| Delivery and support | Installation, access, resident information, device supervision and support hours. |
| Evidence and workflow | Views or reports, reference context, recipients and process handoffs. |
| Success measures | Data availability, usefulness to the team, review effort and resident understanding. |
| Costs and terms | Equipment, setup, installation, recurring service, ownership and exit. |
| Decision point | An agreed review of findings, limitations and the case for changing or extending the service. |
Pilot and portfolio pricing is tailored to your properties, equipment, delivery and support requirements. All pricing is subject to contract.

View pricing approachPractical answers about the evidence, service and responsibilities.
A pilot should test whether the agreed evidence is useful in your housing process. Define the property question, homes, measurements, responsibilities and review point before installation. Review coverage, staff effort, resident experience, costs and limitations before deciding whether to expand.
Start with the issue you want to understand, the likely properties and any existing sensors or systems. Identify who will review the evidence and act on it. The discussion can then cover installation, resident communication, service scope, costs and review criteria.
