The Dinosaur Accuracy Audit is a detailed multi‑stage scientific assessment designed for museums, theme parks, travelling exhibitions, and animatronic manufacturers seeking independent verification of palaeontological accuracy.
What an Audit Involves
Deliverables
- A review of dinosaur reconstructions, models, exhibits and environments
- Assessment across anatomy, posture, integument, behaviour, environment, and narrative accuracy
- A detailed scoring breakdown
- A written report with recommendations
- Eligibility for Bronze, Silver, or Gold Certification
Expert-Led Assessment
Every Dinosaur Accuracy Audit is personally conducted by James Ronan, a vertebrate palaeontologist whose expertise has been featured in The Times and on ABC Radio National’s The Science Show.
Case Study Publication
Full Dinosaur Accuracy Audits are confidential by default. Case studies are only published with client permission and clients may choose full, partial, anonymised, or no publication. You will be able to specify your preference during onboarding.
Availability & Waitlist
Due to the depth of work involved I take on 4–5 full Dinosaur Accuracy Audit projects per year. If all flagship audit slots for the current year are filled suitable projects may be offered a place on the official waitlist.
Being added to the waitlist does not guarantee acceptance, but ensures your project will be considered if a slot becomes available or during the next intake period.
International Enquiries Welcome
The Dinosaur Accuracy Audit is available worldwide. Museums, theme parks, travelling exhibitions, and attractions outside the UK are encouraged to apply.
All enquiries are treated confidentially.
