§A / Offering
What you get

The work, broken out.

01

Feasibility & site selection

A four-to-six week study: market, unit economics, species choice, and a shortlist of viable sites. You finish knowing whether to build, and where.

02

Operational design

Eight to fourteen weeks turning a decision into a buildable plan — facility layout, equipment specification, SOP authoring, and a staffing model.

03

Supplier & regulatory mapping

We map your substrate and equipment supply chain and walk the regulatory path for your jurisdiction, so approvals do not become the thing that stalls you.

04

Embedded sprints

Short, focused engagements where we work inside your team — commissioning a line, hiring your first scientist, or fixing a yield problem in situ.

§C / FAQ
Common questions

Before you ask.

Who do you work with?

Organisations entering insect protein seriously — agri-businesses, waste and feed companies, and well-funded startups. We take ten engagements a year so each gets real attention.

What does it cost?

Engagements are scoped individually against a day rate we share on enquiry. Feasibility studies are the most predictable; embedded work depends on scope and duration.

Which regions do you cover?

The UK, EU, and Latin America. Regulatory work is jurisdiction-specific, so we are explicit up front about where we can and cannot advise.

Do you build the facility for us?

No — we are not a contractor. We produce the plan, specifications, and SOPs, and can stay embedded through commissioning, but you or your builders execute the build.

Ready when you are.

Hands-on consultancy for organisations entering insect protein. Feasibility studies, facility layout, supplier mapping, regulatory navigation, hiring the first scientist. Ten engagements a year, maximum.
