Only Three UK Organisations. One Historic Opportunity.

Introducing the UK Founder Audit Programme

The UK Founder Audit Programme launched on 1st August 2026, marking the beginning of a historic, one‑time intake. This post explains how organisations can be considered for Founder status.

For museums, theme parks, travelling exhibitions, and animatronic manufacturers, this is the moment to modernise outdated displays, strengthen scientific credibility, and lead the sector in scientific accuracy. The Dinosaur Accuracy Audit is here, establishing a new scientific standard for how prehistoric life is presented across the UK.

The Founder Audit Programme launched this August and applications are open until November.

Only three UK organisations will ever:

  • Access the Founder Partner Audit
  • Hold Founder Partner status
  • Receive the permanent Founder Badge
  • Hold the 12‑month Founder QR code
  • Claim they led the way in establishing the Dinosaur Accuracy Audit

This UK launch happens once. It will not be repeated.

Once a Founder slot is filled, that slot closes permanently. Applications are individually reviewed. Acceptance is not guaranteed.

The future of dinosaur display accuracy begins with the organisations who lead this launch.

Organisations wishing to be considered for Founder status can submit their application below.

Many teams recognise the need for accurate science, but far fewer understand how specialist expertise fits into a production or why minimum fees are part of that process. From the outside these fees can seem unusual but they exist for clear practical reasons that support both the consultant and the creators involved.

This article outlines why minimum fees matter, what they enable, and how structured scientific involvement helps build stronger, more reliable prehistoric projects across media.

Jurassic World Rebirth: Spinosaurus Behaviour Sequence Review

This article expands on my viral X thread analysing the Spinosaurus behaviour sequence in Jurassic World: Rebirth. Here, I break down why the scene fails from behavioural, ecological, and storytelling perspectives and how it could have been improved using evidence‑based palaeontology.
