TRL 6
May 2026
Prototype demonstrated in a relevant environment
Ask:Enact now has a working live system being tested by intended users in relevant service settings.
This is the current position. Ask:Enact has moved beyond proof of concept, but it should not yet be described as operationally proven.
Ask:Enact is currently assessed as TRL 6. A working live system exists and is being tested by intended users in relevant service settings. The next step is controlled operational use, which would move the platform towards TRL 7.
Work is also ongoing towards ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 compliance by December 2026.
The next stage is to gather feedback from current testers, refine the system, complete the required governance work, and prepare for controlled live use in real frontline scenarios.
