Founding utility / design partner

A selective early cohort for utility teams and partners.

The Founding Utility Program is for utilities, municipalities, consultants, and industry partners who want direct access during rollout, stronger implementation collaboration, and a meaningful voice in how the workflow evolves.

BackflowCore.ai workflow and implementation planning view

Closer access

Work directly with the team building the registry, tester, submission, and compliance workflows.

Workflow influence

Help shape how rollout, review, notices, reporting, and field-facing workflows should work in practice.

Implementation collaboration

Use early conversations to align registry setup, tester onboarding, and reporting expectations around your operating model.

Limited early cohort

We are aiming for a focused group that can give practical feedback, not a mass signup list.

Good fit

Best for teams feeling real process pressure.

The strongest fit is a program that already knows where the friction lives and wants a more direct hand in shaping a modern operating model around it.

  • Utilities or municipalities managing recurring testing, notices, and reporting with limited staff.
  • CCC managers who need clearer visibility into registry quality, tester workflow, and unresolved compliance work.
  • Consultants or service partners helping utilities evaluate implementation, data readiness, and workflow design.
  • Programs that want closer access during rollout instead of a standard vendor handoff.
What to expect

Working sessions grounded in real workflow detail

Conversations focus on assembly records, tester readiness, submissions, notices, dashboards, and reporting rather than abstract feature wish lists.

What not to expect

Not a generic beta program

This is not about collecting broad feature requests. It is about refining the product around the operating realities of serious CCC programs.

Who should wait

Not the right fit for a fully hands-off vendor handoff

If your team needs a fully standardized rollout with little collaboration, it may make sense to revisit once the product is farther along.

How it starts

Begin with a workflow and implementation conversation

The first step is the same as a strong evaluation: talk through the current program, the highest-friction workflow, and how early collaboration would help.

Next step

If the fit is right, let’s talk through your workflow.

We can use the first conversation to cover product fit, rollout priorities, and whether the Founding Utility Program makes sense for your team.

Best starting points
  • Registry and visibility For teams that need better control over assemblies, due dates, and reporting.
  • Tester workflow For programs dealing with submission friction, readiness checks, and correction loops.
  • Implementation planning For teams that want to talk through rollout support and early collaboration.
