A clear route into collaboration
Start with a question, agree a bounded piece of work and use the evidence to decide what happens next.
Discuss a commissioning enquiryThese proposed engagement scopes bring together needs discovery, pilot design, proportionate evaluation and feasibility work. A discovery engagement produces a documented question, evidence gaps, constraints and a recommendation—not an automatic commitment to deliver or scale.
01 / Indicative 4–6 weeks
For councils, universities, charities and community organisations defining a practical question before committing to a pilot.
Potential outputs
02 / Indicative 4–8 weeks
A proportionate review of how a pilot is being implemented and what its evidence can support.
Potential outputs
03 / Indicative 4–6 weeks
Explore whether a resource-flow idea is feasible before decisions about delivery or infrastructure.
Potential outputs
Exact scope, outputs, timetable, capacity, access to evidence, responsibilities and fees or funding are agreed in writing before engagement. Durations are indicative, not availability commitments. Findings depend on the evidence and design; statistically significant outcomes are not promised.
Specialist food-safety, environmental, waste, legal and engineering advice is obtained separately where required. These packages do not provide regulated professional advice.

VNM-developed proposal
A rural digital inclusion and community hub proposal. Reci is a proposed location for discussion; delivery roles, participation and funding are not confirmed.
Read scope and status →A CIC engagement is scoped with Visio Nova Mundi Community Interest Company (16947678). The written agreement must identify the contracting parties, deliverables, funding, responsibilities, evidence access, safeguarding, data handling and any specialist support before work begins.
Independent founder ventures are not CIC services. Any future partnership project needs its own operator and responsibility agreements. CIC registration establishes identity, not programme outcomes.
