Revenue mechanics are entirely quote-based with no publicly disclosed pricing, and the company bills per-event under one-time equipment hire and professional services arrangements. Its customer base is diverse across healthcare, heritage, hospitality, automotive, manufacturing, music, education, and sports, with named clients including Oxford Radcliffe Charitable Funds, Historic England ASCHB, Abbey Road Studios, Royal Lancaster Hotel, Oxford University Colleges, and Oxford University Hospital Trust.
