The problem we will discuss
The gap a briefing is built around
Most briefings start from the same place: who is missing from selective courses and the professions, and why. These are public figures, each carrying its published source, so the conversation begins from evidence rather than a pitch.

What you can count on
What getting in touch actually involves
No funnel, no pressure and no minimum size. Here is what every first contact looks like, in plain terms.
A real person
Reads your message
No automated funnel and no qualifying desk. Someone accountable for the partnership reads what you send and replies.
Your context
Researched first
Before the call we look at who your students are and what provision already exists, so the conversation is about you.
In writing
A short summary
After the briefing you get a written recommendation and a pilot or partnership shape, scoped to your cohort.
No pressure
You decide later
There is no obligation to proceed and no minimum size to start. You take the summary away and decide in your own time.
What happens next
Three steps from first call to launch
Every partnership starts with a conversation. Here is exactly what a briefing leads to, so you know what you are booking.
02
Recommended shape
We come back with a pilot or partnership shape that can stand up to institutional scrutiny, with safeguarding and evidence built in.
03
Launch with support
We configure journeys, onboard staff and set the communications rhythm that turns a pilot into genuine adoption.
What a briefing covers
A scoping call that moves things forward
By the end of a single call we have usually mapped your cohort, scoped safeguarding and data, sketched an evidence plan and worked out what staff onboarding would take.

Who books a briefing
One conversation, tailored to you
A briefing looks different depending on who you are. Tell us which best describes your organisation and we will shape the call around it.
Universities and medical schools
Extend outreach from aspiration to application, interview and offer, with evidence you can link to outcomes.
Schools, trusts and access partners
A governable support layer with safeguarding and reporting built in, so a student is not held back by their setting.
NHS, employers and funders
Build earlier, fairer pipelines and fund a defined cohort, with measurement that shows what changed.
Government and local authorities
A safe, governed and policy-aligned AI platform that supports national widening-access and workforce priorities.
After you get in touch
What happens once you reach out
No automated funnel and no pressure. Here is exactly what follows a message or a booking, so you know what you are starting.
01
We acknowledge within two working days
A real person reads your message, not an automated funnel. We confirm we have it and suggest a time that suits your team.
02
We prepare on your cohort
Before the call we look at who your students are and what provision already exists, so the conversation starts from your context, not a generic script.
03
You leave with a written summary
After the briefing we send a short written recommendation and a pilot or partnership shape you can take to a board. No pressure to commit on the call.
Who you will speak to
A conversation with the people who build and run AVA
The first call matters, so it is with the right people. You talk to the team accountable for the product and the evidence, not a sales desk.
The people who build the product
You speak to the team accountable for the platform and the evidence, so technical and safeguarding questions are answered first hand.
No sales desk in between
There is no qualifying funnel or commission-led handover. The first conversation is with the people who would actually run your partnership.
Prepared, not generic
We come ready on your cohort and your constraints, and we leave you with a clear, honest sense of whether AVA is a fit.
Safeguarding and data scoping
The questions a risk assessment asks first
A briefing covers the things a serious institution checks before trusting an AI platform with under-18s. We scope these from the start, in writing.
Safeguarding on every input path
Moderation, logging, age-appropriate design and protective access windows are built in, because our students are 16 to 18.
Data protection scoped early
GDPR, a data protection impact assessment and any data-sharing workflows are mapped during partnership scoping, not bolted on later.
Policy alignment in writing
How AVA maps to the Department for Education generative AI expectations and the Information Commissioner Children’s Code, ready for a risk assessment.
Evidence kept honest
We separate engagement, observational findings and causal claims throughout, and share full methodology during due diligence.
Built for under-18s
A platform designed around the students it serves
Everything we scope in a briefing comes back to one thing: a safe, fair and genuinely useful experience for a 16 to 18 year old from a widening participation background.
What to bring
Four things that make the first call genuinely useful
A rough sense of these four things is enough to make the conversation concrete rather than generic, with or without a formal brief or budget approval behind it.
A sense of your cohort
Roughly who your students are and what provision already exists. Enough to make the call about you, in whatever form you already have it.
The outcomes that matter
Whether you are measured on offers, progression, engagement or fairness of access, so we can talk about evidence in your terms.
Your constraints
Budget, timelines, safeguarding rules and the people who need to sign off. Naming the constraints early is what keeps a pilot realistic.
The questions you are nervous about
The hard ones about AI safety, data and evidence are the ones we most want. Ask them on the call and you get the full answer while it can still shape your decision.
Ways to reach us
Start the conversation however suits you
There is no minimum size to start a conversation and no qualifying funnel. Choose the route that fits your team and we will meet you there.
Book a briefing call
The fastest route. Pick a time that suits your team and we come prepared on your cohort, so the conversation starts from your context.
Email the team directly
Prefer to start in writing? A real person reads every message and replies within two working days, never an automated funnel.
Bring a colleague
Safeguarding lead, data protection officer or evaluator welcome on the first call. The more scrutiny early, the cleaner the scoping.
Before you worry
A conversation, not a commitment
A briefing exists to help you decide. Here is exactly what getting in touch commits you to.
No obligation to proceed
You can take the written summary away and decide in your own time. There is no pressure to commit on the call.
Honest about fit
Where AVA is the wrong answer for your cohort, we say so on the call. A partnership only works when it reaches the right students.
Your information stays yours
Anything you share about your cohort is used only to scope the conversation, handled in line with our data protection approach.
What partners say
What the first conversation is like
“The first call was with someone who could actually answer our safeguarding and data questions, not a sales team passing us on. That changed how seriously we took it.”
Access and participation lead
Russell Group university
“They came prepared on our cohort and were honest about what the evidence does and does not yet show. We left with a written shape we could take to a board.”
Widening participation manager
Medical school outreach team
“What stood out was that students never pay. The conversation started from fairness of access, which is exactly where ours has to start too.”
Programme director
Access and outreach charity
