How long does it take from first contact to pilot start?
Typically 2–4 weeks from initial contact to pilot start - the main variable is internal procurement and legal review. The discovery call, commercial agreement and governance documentation can all be completed within a week on our side.
What do we need to provide for the pilot?
Content to analyse (video, audio, text or images), a defined use case and question you want EchoDepth to answer, and sign-off on the Data Processing Agreement. We handle the rest.
What happens to our data during a pilot?
Your content is processed within UK infrastructure. It is not retained beyond the analysis period (30 days maximum), is not used to train any model, and is not shared with any third party. You receive the full output and then it is deleted. A full DPA is signed before any content is shared.
Can we start with one use case and expand?
Yes - this is the most common path. Most organisations begin with a single high-value use case, prove the ROI through the pilot, then expand to additional use cases in the enterprise deployment phase.
Do you work with organisations outside the UK?
Yes. We have worked with organisations in the EU and US. UK GDPR and standard contractual clauses cover EU processing. US engagements are handled case by case depending on sector and data residency requirements.
What sectors do you work with?
Financial services, defence and security, enterprise sales, HR and people, leadership and change management, research and insight, transport and public sector. Contact us if your sector is not listed - we evaluate all enquiries.
How long does it take to start an EchoDepth pilot?
Typically 2–4 weeks from initial contact to pilot start, and the main variable is internal procurement and legal review. The discovery call and governance paperwork can usually be completed within a week on Cavefish's side. The pilot programme itself runs 2–12 weeks, from a use case documented in writing and governance documentation, including the Data Processing Agreement, consent architecture and DPIA, through to a final pilot report with findings and a commercial recommendation. Every engagement begins with a free sample analysis of content you already have, which returns a scored PDF report within 5 working days, followed by a 30–45 minute discovery call. Once the pilot starts, weekly output reports with commentary are delivered, and a final pilot report sets out the findings. The pilot is designed to produce quantified evidence sufficient to build an internal business case for enterprise deployment, which is typically set on a 12-month initial term.
