Open new opportunities for your agricultural expertise.
Get free access to Proof Pro. Put your field knowledge to work on evidence questions that matter. Explore paid programme opportunities for you and the farms you work with.
Proof is bringing together agricultural practitioners to help shape its founding UK arable Evidence Engineer cohort.
Proof is pre-launch. Register your interest in the founding cohort and help shape the tools and programme opportunities being developed.
Does the later application timing hold up on heavy clay in a wet spring?
What does establishment actually look like after a cover crop on light land?
How was the product used in the field, season by season?
Does the nozzle change hold up outside the trial plot?
Illustrative questions. Proof is pre-launch and no programme is live.
Your expertise has value beyond your existing client base.
Manufacturers and research organisations need to understand what happens in real farming conditions.
You bring the practical knowledge those questions require: understanding the field, recognising relevant observations and knowing which details need to be recorded.
Proof is being built to connect that expertise with funded evidence programmes, and to give you the professional tools to deliver the work.
Does the later application timing hold up on heavy clay in a wet spring?
Nobody can answer this from an office. It needs somebody who was there.
What would you actually do?
Evidence Engineering builds on practical agricultural work.
A programme might ask you to document how a product was used, record the conditions surrounding an operation or collect measurements under an agreed protocol.
Your role would depend on your experience and the programme requirements.
Understand the question.
Establish what the programme needs to learn, what evidence is required and which activities you are responsible for.
Plan the recording work.
Work with the programme team and participating farms to agree visits, observations, measurements and supporting information.
Capture what happens.
Record field conditions, observations, decisions and operations. Attach relevant photographs, files and notes with enough context for someone else to understand them later.
Follow the evidence through the season.
Add measurements and outcomes at the agreed stages. Document changes to the plan and make missing information visible.
Prepare the record for review.
Check completeness, organise supporting evidence and respond to questions within your professional scope.
Preserve what was learned.
Maintain the record as corrections and further information are added, so the work remains useful beyond the final visit.
The scope is agreed, not assumed. You would know what you are responsible for before the first visit.
Free access to Proof Pro.
Evidence Engineers will receive free access to Proof Pro as it becomes available.
The professional workspace is being developed to help you organise evidence, work across authorised farm records and build a useful history of your contribution.
Attached evidence
Every file sits beside the record it supports.
Source and date stay visible, so a file still means something to somebody else months later.
Compare with the context still attached.
Eligible records side by side, with the differences that decide whether the comparison is worth making.
What needs attention next.
Missing information, outstanding measurements and records ready for review, in the order the season will ask for them.
The work you have contributed to, kept.
Corrections and later information are added to the history rather than replacing what was recorded at the time.
Earn through funded evidence programmes.
Proof is developing a route for professionals to participate in paid evidence work commissioned by manufacturers and other organisations.
Opportunities could include field recording, programme coordination, measurement and evidence preparation, matched to your experience and availability.
The scope, responsibilities, fees and payment terms would be agreed before work begins.
Bring new opportunities to the farms you work with.
Farms contribute land, time, operational knowledge and practical work.
A farm is paid for the work it does, not for the answer it produces.
Help shape a developing professional discipline.
Founding participants will have the opportunity to help shape recording workflows, programme guidance and the tools inside Proof Pro.
We welcome interest from agronomists, advisers, trials professionals, researchers, farm technical teams and other experienced agricultural practitioners.
Bring your expertise. Help build what comes next.
Register the work you do, the regions you cover and the evidence activities you would like to support.
Help shape a professional system that preserves the value of your work, and creates new ways to put it to use.
Proof is pre-launch. There is no cohort to join today, and no programme is live. What you tell us here shapes both.
Free Proof Pro access is part of the planned Evidence Engineer offer. Programme opportunities depend on funded demand, suitability and availability. Joining the waitlist does not confer certification or guarantee paid work.
