Bring capability, access or implementation strength to a difficult problem.
Use this intake when you can materially strengthen one of our investigations through research, technical capability, domain knowledge, operational access, independent review or a credible path to implementation.
A useful collaboration proposal explains what you can contribute, what work it may support and why the combination is worth examining.
A collaboration proposal should describe a contribution, not only an interest.
We are interested in collaboration when another person or organisation can improve the quality of an investigation, strengthen the system being developed or provide credible access to a problem, environment or implementation path.
Methods, experiment design, evidence review, validity assessment or replication.
Architecture, software engineering, data structures, automation, tooling or system reliability.
Specialist understanding required to define a problem or operating condition accurately.
Access to real workflows, participants, records or environments where a problem can be investigated.
A credible environment in which a validated workflow or system could later be adopted.
The ability to challenge assumptions, examine evidence or review a decision record.
A proposal does not need to cover every area. It should make the actual contribution clear.
Do not include passwords, access credentials, regulated personal data, confidential client records or information you are not authorised to share.
Collaboration intake
A proposal begins a review—not a partnership.
When delivery is connected, we will first determine whether the proposed contribution is relevant to our current work, operating approach and ability to investigate responsibly.
- We may need more information about the capability, access, problem or proposed role.
- A conversation may be useful when the contribution appears relevant but the opportunity requires further definition.
- The proposal may not match our current priorities, capability needs or operating stage.
- A focused investigation or collaboration structure may be considered when the contribution and opportunity are sufficiently credible.
Describe the capability without disclosing protected information.
The first proposal should explain what you can contribute without including private credentials, confidential client material, regulated personal data or information you are not authorised to disclose.
- Do not submit passwords or access keys.
- Do not submit private customer or participant records.
- Do not submit banking or payment credentials.
- Do not submit medical, biometric or government-identification data.
- Do not submit privileged legal material.
- Do not upload proprietary source code or confidential datasets.
- Do not upload files during this phase.
Specific access and information boundaries can be discussed later if there is a credible reason to continue.
Have the difficult problem rather than the collaboration capability?
Use the problem route when you can describe a recurring operational failure, the work it affects and what access may be available.
