The Problem

Research infrastructure is at an inflection point

FAIR mandates are becoming enforceable. PID adoption is accelerating. AI is surfacing metadata debt. Yet most organizations lack the specialized expertise to respond.

Fragmented metadata

Inconsistent schemas, missing PIDs, free-text fields where controlled vocabularies should be.

Lack of interoperability

Systems that can’t exchange data with partners, funders, or global infrastructure.

Low adoption

Technically sound infrastructure that researchers don’t use because the human side was neglected.

Strategy–implementation gap

Organizations that know what they want but can’t translate vision into working systems.

What We Do

Four flagship packages

Packaged services with a defined scope, clear deliverables, and a dedicated lead— so you always know what you're getting.

Need ongoing support? Beyond the flagship packages, we run retainers for the work that doesn't end at delivery — strategic advisory, consortium programme management, and PID adoption monitoring.
