Applied Innovation & Prototyping
Piloting automation and QA tools for tomorrow's wind analytics.
A stepwise programme translates internal R&D and partner feedback into prototypes and pilots. Early tools focus on consistency, audit trails, and semi-automated analysis, with the option to expand into collaborative platforms and APIs, as demand and funding evolve. Current roadmap includes:
- LLM-assisted QA tools for internal use
- TR6/IEC conformity check modules
- Semi-automated "quick-check" visualisation dashboards (pilot phase)
- Secure client portals for review and audit logs
Added value: A cautious, collaborative path toward digital solutions that enhance transparency, efficiency, and scalability across the wind sector.

Drivers and Working Principles
- Decentralised delivery — modular micro-services, expert-in-the-loop reviews, and a partner network to scale up or down per SOW.
Efficiency first — automation of repeatable steps, templated QA checklists, and lean hand-offs.
Compliance-by-design — methods aligned to relevant standards (e.g., FGW TR6 / IEC 61400-15), auditable assumptions and versioned models.
Innovation with guardrails — expert oversight for all deliverables.
Constructive disruption — replace manual, opaque steps with transparent, automated workflows; challenge default toolchains where evidence shows material quality/speed gains.
Diversified revenues & risk — balanced mix of services (EYA/DD/QA), training, and software enablement; onshore/offshore; EU and selective non-EU markets; multiple client segments to avoid single-channel exposure.avoid single-channel exposure.avoid single-channel exposure.
Global readiness — remote-first delivery, time-zone aware scheduling, multilingual outputs, and region-appropriate datasets; export-controlled and cross-border data handled with documented safeguards.
Open-minded transparency — publish method notes, show uncertainty and sensitivities, invite independent review, and contribute back (where possible) to open tools/standards.
