Getting in

An account, three questions, and a real person reading them. Access isn’t instant: nobody is let in automatically. But the wait is usually measured in hours, and there’s nothing to do while it runs.

Make an account

Create an account on the sign-up screen. Enter any email and a password, or continue with Google. The account is created and the screen advances straight to the pilot application.

Answer three questions

The application is one screen. Your practice name and its size, how you brief residential clients today, and the biggest gap in that process. The third is the one that gets read properly.

What happens next

The application goes to a person, not to a queue that opens on its own. A three-step row reads Applied, Under review, Approved, and review is usually within 48 hours. The email arrives when you’re approved, and brings 60 days of full access with no card.

Under review · unchanged for a day or two

Why sixty days

All 12 parts

The pilot is meant to be run on a live project, not evaluated in an afternoon. A residential brief doesn’t resolve in a fortnight, and a trial shorter than the work it’s for only ever shows you the outside.
