Founding partners
Help shape the future of graduate AI readiness.
We are inviting a small group of universities to participate in the inaugural FutureMeasure initiative — helping inform the design, piloting and responsible development of the benchmark, and seeing the evidence first.
- Limited cohort
- No commitment to begin
- Ethics-led
Why participate now
The definition is still open. That is the opportunity.
Most benchmarking exercises arrive fully formed, with the domains already chosen and the institution invited to comply. Founding partners join while the framework is still being argued over — which is where the useful influence is.
In practical terms, that means your faculty can challenge what counts as readiness, insist on what is defensible in your disciplines, and refuse what would be reductive. The benchmark will be better for it, and so will the sector.
We are deliberately not promising scale, accreditation or a published ranking. Those are not ours to promise. What we can promise is a rigorous attempt, made openly, with your institution inside the process.
What partners contribute
- 01Review the proposed capability domains against your disciplines
- 02Advise on assessment design, ethics and student consent
- 03Host a pilot cohort and share what the instrument revealed about itself
- 04Help determine what is published, and in what form
What partners receive
- 01Early access to findings from the inaugural cycle
- 02A formative role in shaping an internationally intended benchmark
- 03Direct engagement with the research team, not an account manager
- 04Recognition as a founding partner, in the form you are comfortable with
How it begins
Four steps, none of them a sales process.
Introduction
A conversation with your academic leadership about the question you need answered.
Review
We share the draft framework and instrument design for critique and internal review.
Agreement
A short, explicit participation agreement covering scope, ethics and data handling.
Pilot
A cohort completes the assessment, with findings shared and discussed before publication.
