The scale of the ask

Council programmes sit on top of a national problem.

The numbers below set the context most programme teams are already delivering against. This is why follow-through infrastructure matters.

Figures rounded from published UK government and regulator sources. Wattcue does not make savings guarantees or eligibility decisions; these figures describe the delivery context, not projected outcomes.

What programme teams tell us

Three recurring pressures on accountable delivery.

These are the operational realities we designed Wattcue around. If any of them sound familiar, a discovery call is probably the right next step.

Referrals counted, outcomes unclear

Cohort reports often stop at handoffs. Programme leads end the quarter unsure whether residents actually completed the actions funded work was intended to enable.

Governance review eats delivery time

DPIA questions, safeguarding sign-off, and data-sharing clauses surface late in procurement. Delivery windows shrink while the paperwork catches up.

Winter demand spikes, capacity doesn't

Advisers and caseworkers already run at capacity. Peak-season cohorts need a follow-through layer that does not depend on hiring more people.

Cohort visibility and procurement evidence, together.

Two capabilities programme teams ask for first, designed so one informs the other, not so one delays the other.

Procurement & governance

Evidence bundles your reviewers already recognise.

Weekly status packs, DPIA-scoped exports, and an audit event trail mean legal, IG, and internal audit can sign off a pilot without a bespoke data-sharing programme.

  • Weekly status pack exports ready for programme board
  • DPIA support, consent and retention templates included
  • Audit logging specification shared up front
What legal & IG will ask about

Four answers, prepared before the meeting.

These are the commitments we lead every council conversation with. They are what make a pilot reviewable, not just pitchable.

DPIA-ready

Scope, lawful basis, and risk framing shared on day one. Your IG team reviews a document, not a discovery call.

Safeguarding protocol

Vulnerability flags, escalation routes, and adviser-in-the-loop rules baked into every workflow.

Audit-grade evidence

Tamper-evident event log, versioned rule traces, and consent records per household action.

Procurement-ready

Engagements are time-boxed with documented evidence triggers. Renewal is explicit, not default.

Fits the work you already do

Programmes Wattcue sits alongside.

We don't replace the funded scheme. We sit alongside it as a governed follow-through layer, so residents actually complete the actions the scheme was designed to enable.

Engagement journey

From first call to renewal, without surprises.

Every step has a reviewable artefact. Nothing important happens between steps.

01

Scoping call

30 minutes to understand your programme, cohort, and governance constraints. No pitch deck required.

02

DPIA & governance

Shared scope, lawful basis, consent templates, and retention schedule, reviewable by your IG team.

03

Cohort setup

Programme, ward, and role configuration aligned to your delivery team, with safeguarding hooks in place.

04

Delivery & evidence

Rules-first follow-through with weekly status packs and audit-grade event logs, case by case.

05

Evaluation & renewal

End-of-engagement evaluation and an explicit renewal decision. No auto-rollover.

Questions procurement always asks

Answered up front.

The five objections we hear most often, answered the same way we would answer them on a discovery call.

We share a scoped DPIA template, lawful basis, consent wording, and retention schedule on day one. Your IG team reviews documents against your standard framework. We don't ask you to invent a bespoke data-sharing programme for the pilot.

No. Wattcue is an adviser-in-the-loop layer that extends the advice session, not a replacement for professional judgement. Safeguarding concerns and high-stakes decisions always route to a named human.

No, and we don't claim to. Wattcue does not provide regulated debt advice, make eligibility decisions, or guarantee savings. We track whether agreed actions were completed, not whether a specific £ outcome was achieved.

Engagements are time-boxed with documented evidence triggers and an explicit renewal decision. There is no auto-rollover. If the evaluation isn't clean, the pilot ends.

None. Wattcue is partner-funded and free at the point of use for households. We do not take commissions on referrals, supplier switches, or installations.

Early partner conversations

Let's talk about your cohort.

A 30-minute discovery call is the fastest way to see whether Wattcue fits your programme. No pitch deck required, just your delivery context and the outcomes you need to evidence.
