Discovery call // 30 minutes · free · no obligation

Not sure if a drone could help?
Let’s find out.

A free 30-minute call. You describe the asset, the site or the question. We tell you honestly whether drone work fits, which of our products applies, what it would cost — and if drones aren’t the right tool, we tell you that too.

No quote pressure, no kit hire, no commitment. The point of the call is clarity, not a sale.

Who this is for

Useful when you’ve got an asset, a question, and a hunch.

Most of our enquiries come from people who already know they want a drone job done. But a meaningful slice come from buyers who have an asset, a question or a problem and aren’t sure whether drones are the right tool, the right cost, or the right starting point. The discovery call is for that second group.

You don’t need to know what you want. You don’t need to have a brief written. You don’t need a budget figure in mind. The point of the call is to get from "I think a drone might help" to "yes / no / maybe, and here’s why" — in 30 minutes, on the phone, without a sales pitch.

What we’ll cover

A quick, structured conversation.

No PowerPoint, no demo, no pre-prepared materials. Just five questions on the phone — we listen, you talk, and you leave the call knowing what to do next.

QUESTION 01
What’s the asset?

Site, building, infrastructure, area of land, portfolio — whatever it is. Size, location, access, ownership picture.

QUESTION 02
What question are you trying to answer?

Condition? Security? Progress? Compliance? Marketing? Insurance evidence? "Something just feels off?" All valid starting points.

QUESTION 03
What’s prompted this?

A renewal coming up? An incident? A board question? A consultant’s recommendation? The trigger usually points at the right product.

QUESTION 04
What deliverable do you need?

Imagery? A report? Insurance evidence? A 3D model? Something to show your insurer or your board? The deliverable shapes the engagement.

QUESTION 05
By when?

Timelines change which product fits. An incident needs Incident Response. A renewal in 8 weeks fits the Assessment. A quarterly cadence fits Managed Capture.

WHAT YOU GET
A clear next step

By the end of the call: yes, no, or maybe — with reasoning. Which product (if any) fits, indicative cost, and what to do next. No follow-up sales pressure.

Four possible outcomes

By the end of the call, you’ll be in one of four places.

We tell you which one, with reasoning. The honest answer matters more to us than the sale.

OUTCOME 01
A drone job is the right fit, and we’re the right firm.

We tell you which product applies (Assessment, Incident Response, Managed Capture or one of the six sector services), the indicative cost, and what scoping would look like. If you want to take it further, we book a proper scoping call. If not, no follow-up.

OUTCOME 02
Drone work could help, but it needs custom scoping.

Your situation doesn’t neatly fit one of our productised offers. We talk through what a bespoke engagement might look like — or whether part of your need could be addressed by an existing product and the rest deferred or referred elsewhere.

OUTCOME 03
Drones aren’t the right tool for this.

Sometimes the honest answer is no. The asset is too small, the question doesn’t need aerial capture, the regulation is wrong, the cost-to-value isn’t there. We tell you, explain why, and don’t try to talk you into a job. We’d rather be remembered as the firm that gave a straight answer.

OUTCOME 04
You need someone else — here’s who.

Stack inspection, pressure-vessel NDT, certified structural assessment, intrusive penetration testing, internal-confined-space inspection. All things drones can’t do or shouldn’t do. If your need sits there, we point you at the right specialist. We don’t pretend.

Why "no" is on the menu

A free call where the answer might be "you don’t need us."

Most "free consultations" in any industry are a thinly disguised opening pitch. The whole call is engineered toward "yes." Buyers can sense this, which is why the format has lost its credibility.

The discovery call is built differently. Some calls end with us telling the prospect that drone work isn’t the right starting point for their question. Sometimes the asset is too small. Sometimes the deliverable they actually need is a structural engineer’s sign-off, not aerial imagery. Sometimes they’d be better off talking to their insurer first. We’d rather be the firm someone remembers as having told them the truth than the firm that wasted three weeks of their time scoping the wrong thing.

It also means that when we do say "yes, this fits," that opinion carries weight. We’re not saying yes by default.

After the call

If a drone job fits, here’s where the conversation goes next.

The discovery call routes into one of four products, depending on what you need. None of them are sold during the discovery call itself — we just tell you which one fits and let you decide whether to take it further.

Send the asset, the question and your timeframe via the contact form — or pick up the phone. Either way, we’ll come back with a 30-minute slot inside 2 working days. No prep needed at your end.
