Become a Founder Partner for the UK’s First Scientific Animatronic & Exhibit Accuracy Audit
Launch Window: August 2026 – November 2026
I am launching the UK Founder Audit Programme to help museums, theme parks, travelling exhibitions, and animatronic manufacturers upgrade the scientific accuracy, realism, and educational value of their dinosaur and prehistoric exhibits.
Applications are individually reviewed. Acceptance is not guaranteed.
The Founder Badge and Founder QR code will only ever be issued once, forming a permanent, one‑time accreditation awarded to just three organisations.
This audit is built on a new scientific assessment — the first of its kind in the UK — designed to formally assess the accuracy and realism of dinosaur reconstructions.
Official Accuracy Audit Standard
This is a rare opportunity to modernise your attraction, elevate scientific credibility, and become one of the first certified Founder Organisations in the UK.
To mark the UK launch, I am opening only three Founder Partner slots. These organisations will receive a audit at a significantly reduced founder rate, in exchange for allowing their project to be used as a case study with mandatory marketing and publication rights.
This is a one‑time launch initiative and will not be repeated
A New Standard for Dinosaur Attractions
The Dinosaur Accuracy Audit establishes a clear professional benchmark for anatomical realism, behavioural plausibility and environmental coherence making dinosaurs more scientifically accurate, more engaging, and more memorable for the public. Accurate reconstructions consistently outperform outdated designs in public engagement, reduce financial risk, deepen immersion, and make scientific alignment a commercially valuable opportunity.
This marks a defining moment for palaeontology, establishing a formal accuracy standard for the attractions and heritage sector.
What Founder Partners Receive (Audit Deliverables)
A focused, high‑impact version of the Dinosaur Accuracy Audit, tailored to your attraction or exhibition. This Founder-Level Audit includes:
- Scientific Accuracy Review Targeted assessment of anatomy, posture, behaviour, and ecological alignment for selected species.
- Environmental Check Focused review of habitat logic, environmental coherence, and ecosystem relationships.
- Visual & Immersion Assessment Quick sightline and narrative clarity checks to identify realism issues affecting guest immersion.
- Technical Documentation Pack Priority photographic notes, selected annotations, and short‑form recommendations.
- Founder Certification Package Issued only to the three organisations accepted during launch. Includes the Permanent Founder Badge, Digital Founder Certificate, QR code (12‑month lifespan), and reduced Founder Certification Manifest.
- Founder Certification recognises an organisation’s role in establishing the Dinosaur Accuracy Audit.
- Scientific certification is a separate process awarded only when an attraction meets the required accuracy standards.
If your organisation wants to modernise outdated displays, strengthen scientific credibility, and ensure new animatronics and models meet today’s standards of realism, this programme is built for you.
Gain access to the first scientific audit framework of its kind, including exclusive palaeontological insight, high‑impact recommendations, and a bespoke evaluation report tailored to your exhibit or attraction. A powerful way to demonstrate scientific accuracy, strengthen public trust, and lead the sector.
The Case Studies page shows anonymised, illustrative examples of the audit process. Founder-accredited case studies will be created with the three organisations accepted into the Founder Programme.

Project Minimum Fee: The minimum fee for onboarding into the Founder Audit Programme is £10,000. The audit pays for itself by modernising outdated displays, improving scientific accuracy, and strengthening your organisation’s reputation. Accepted Founder Partners receive a reduced launch‑phase audit rate, applied after onboarding. This reduced rate is available only during the August 2026–November 2026 launch window.
Full Audit Option
Full‑Scope Dinosaur Accuracy Audits are available year‑round on a limited‑capacity basis. Organisations may request a full‑scope audit at any time, with Streamlined (reduced‑scope) audits also offered for teams seeking a lighter option. Depending on scheduling availability projects may be added to the audit waitlist following direct contact.
