How to use this guidebook

This guidebook aims to support SMEs in designing and refining the trial plan submitted within the application phase. The guidebook has been broken into three sections.

Each section includes a key output that needs to be produced. To populate this output, a series of questions are listed that SMEs will be expected to answer. Prompts have also been listed to support SMEs in answering the questions, as well as optional activities and useful resources.

As this is a comprehensive guide, It is not required that all outputs are completed and all questions answered. Depending on the programme SMEs are partaking in, a checklist of what to complete will be provided. This checklist will be determined by the Catapult and project partners, and will for a guide on which sections to complete within this guidebook.

If you are having any issues using this guidebook or completing your trial plan, please contact a member of the Catapult team.
