Design partner programme

Three weeks with the team building intelligent systems.

Our design partner programme is a structured pilot across any Aperintel product. You break it; we listen and rebuild. The redacted findings ship as a public artefact future customers will rely on. The cohort closes when full.

Time on your side Six to ten hours
Window Three weeks, your schedule
Cost Zero, plus an advisor option
Cohort start Rolling intake

What it is

A scripted adversarial test cycle against one Aperintel product, run by you on your own time.

We set the scope, you do the breaking, and the redacted results become a public artefact future paying customers rely on. The format is the same regardless of which product you sit with; the test plan is shaped to that product's threat model.

What we ask

  • Six to ten hours of your time across three weeks, run on your own schedule.
  • A short written assessment of where the platform held and where it broke. Templates provided.
  • Permission to publish the redacted findings under your acknowledged name in the next Accountability Architecture Series paper.
  • One thirty-minute scoping call at the start. One thirty-minute debrief at the end.

What you get

  • Named acknowledgement in the published research paper as a founding design partner.
  • Early access to the product once it ships to general availability.
  • For regulated-sector partners: a standing offer of an advisor seat (0.1 to 0.25 percent vested over twenty-four months) on the Aperintel Ltd cap table.
  • For academic partners: co-authorship on the published research paper if your contribution is substantive, plus a written letter supporting any grant applications that draw on the operational dataset.
  • For international partners: co-authored short follow-up piece on cross-jurisdiction AI governance practice if your own work would extend the analysis.

How the cycle runs

Four steps. Three weeks. Yours to break.

The format is the same regardless of which Aperintel product you sit with; the test plan is shaped to that product's threat model and your specific obligation.

Week zero

  • Apply through the form below.
  • Thirty-minute scoping call within seven days to confirm the surface, the obligation you want covered, and the failure modes to probe.
  • You receive the threat model document and the test plan written for your specific context.

Weeks one to three

  • You run the scripted attacks against the product on your own schedule.
  • Asynchronous channel for questions, edge cases, and anything that surprises you.
  • A short written assessment of where the platform held and where it broke, on a template we provide.
  • Thirty-minute debrief at the end. Redacted findings ship as a public artefact in the next paper.
