The binding terms of a structured two-phase pilot and post-pilot program between the Platform Provider and Pilot Partner. Designed to complement Skjander's biodiversity credit unit offering to unit owners, with the potential to also complement existing geospatial workflows – currently run in R, QGIS and Python – with a governed, repeatable and significantly faster platform-based environment for biodiversity credit assessment and reporting.
This term sheet sets out the binding terms under which the Platform Provider and Skjander agree to engage in a structured two-phase pilot and post-pilot program. The overarching purpose is to demonstrate that the platform can complement Skjander's biodiversity credit unit offering to unit owners via a dashboard and map of the unit-owner biodiversity credit regions. Secondary to that is to complement Skjander's current geospatial workflows – currently performed in R, QGIS, and Python – with a governed, repeatable, and significantly faster platform-based analysis environment for biodiversity credit assessment and reporting. Skjander will use the Nxt7a platform directly under its own named-user access.
Use Case · Objective 1 – Buyer & Portfolio Reporting
Framework: When [trigger], [actor] uses [product] to [action], so that [outcome].
When Skjander needs to issue documentation to a unit buyer or give an existing credit holder a view of their portfolio, a Skjander client services lead uses the platform to generate standardised, verifiable unit reports and render a buyer-facing portfolio map of the credits held – so that Skjander can deliver consistent, defensible buyer documentation and recurring portfolio reporting without hand-assembling materials per buyer per cycle.
Use Case · Objective 2 – Workflow Acceleration
Framework: When [trigger], [actor] uses [product] to [action], so that [outcome].
When Skjander needs to assess a new biodiversity credit site or onboard a unit buyer, a Skjander operations analyst uses the platform to run geospatial analysis on the target area, identify credit-eligible plant community types, score credit opportunity value against current NSW market data, and generate standardised unit reports – so that Skjander can assess deals in hours not days, provide buyers with verifiable documentation, and demonstrate credit provenance without hand-assembling reports per deal.
Each deliverable maps to a concrete acceptance criterion. The pilot review at the end of Month 3 will assess completion of all five deliverables.
| # | Deliverable | Acceptance Criterion |
|---|---|---|
| D1 | Unit buyer report generation | Standardised report generated per site including species present, site category, PCT data, and credit provenance – without manual assembly. At least one end-to-end report produced for a live Skjander site. |
| D2 | Portfolio / holdings view | Credit holders can view their held units on a map with associated site and species data. Demonstrated for at least one active Skjander stewardship site. |
| D3 | Automated site assessment workflow | Analyst draws or uploads a site boundary and the platform returns PCT mapping, clearing percentages, and credit opportunity score within minutes. Compared to the current 2–3 day R/QGIS baseline. |
| D4 | Credit opportunity scoring | Platform calculates estimated biodiversity credit value for a given site using current NSW auction prices and species demand register – output includes credit type, estimated quantity, and indicative market value. |
| D5 | Infrastructure demand pipeline overlay | Platform surfaces proximity of NSW government infrastructure projects to credit-eligible sites, enabling Skjander to identify future demand hotspots for credit acquisition. |
The following commercial structure applies across the two phases. Phase 1 pricing is discounted to reflect the pilot nature of the engagement. Phase 2 pricing (per the rate card) is agreed upfront as part of entering into this term sheet, subject to a successful pilot review.
The full rate card is attached as Schedule A. Phase 2 pricing applies from Month 4 automatically upon written confirmation of a successful pilot review.
Provide Skjander with named-user access to a functional version of the platform, configured with relevant NSW geospatial datasets (PCT mapping, clearing data, credit register, auction prices, infrastructure pipeline) and Skjander's own privately contributed data.
Maintain a governed data environment for Skjander. Skjander's privately contributed data is accessible only to authorised Skjander users. The Platform Provider will not access, share, or use Skjander's data for any purpose beyond platform delivery without written consent.
Configure the Capi AI assistant with Skjander-specific query templates for site assessment, credit opportunity scoring, and portfolio reporting – operating only within data layers Skjander has explicitly permitted.
Provide responsive technical support throughout the engagement and act on feedback in a timely manner.
Obtain Skjander's explicit written approval before publishing or presenting any case study, report, or external materials referencing Skjander, its data, or its operations.
Participate in the platform in good faith throughout Phase 1, including testing features, providing honest and timely feedback, and attending scheduled review sessions.
Advise the Platform Provider on the most relevant sites, datasets, and workflow scenarios to configure and test during the pilot – including providing access to representative Skjander site data.
Attend and actively participate in the Month 3 pilot review session and provide formal feedback on whether the pilot has delivered sufficient value to proceed to Phase 2.
Pay all applicable fees in accordance with Section 7 and Schedule A. Phase 1 fees are due on the Effective Date. Phase 2 fees are due on the first day of Month 4, subject to written confirmation of a successful pilot review.
Share relevant terms and updates internally with Skjander's working group stakeholders as appropriate to support informed decision-making.
All data privately contributed by Skjander to the platform – including site boundaries, credit holdings, buyer records, proprietary pipeline data, and any derivative outputs – remains the exclusive property of Skjander. This agreement does not transfer any data ownership rights to the Platform Provider.
Open-source datasets provided by the Nxt7a platform are not owned by Skjander and remain governed by the terms of their respective source organisations.
The Platform Provider will not share, sell, licence, or otherwise disclose Skjander's privately contributed data to any third party without Skjander's explicit prior written consent.
The platform's technology – including its geospatial engine, data architecture, AI configuration, and proprietary modelling – remains the intellectual property of the Platform Provider. No white-label, resale, or sub-licensing rights are granted under this agreement.
Nothing in this agreement restricts Skjander from developing its own proprietary models or tools in parallel. Equally, nothing grants Skjander access to the Platform Provider's underlying model architecture, query functions, or data transformation logic.
Each party agrees to keep the terms of this agreement and all non-public information shared during the engagement confidential. Neither party will disclose confidential information to any third party without the other party's prior written consent, except as required by law.
For the avoidance of doubt, Skjander's privately contributed data is subject to the stronger protections set out in Section 10 and is not subject to any implied disclosure rights under this confidentiality clause.
By signing below, each party confirms they have read, understood, and agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement.
This schedule sets out the full rate card for both phases. All pricing in AUD and exclusive of GST. [TBC] items to be confirmed and agreed in writing before the Effective Date.
| Item | Phase 1 – Pilot (Months 1–3) |
Phase 2 – Post-Pilot (Months 4–12) |
|---|---|---|
| Platform licence fee | $3,600 (after 20% disc) | $10,800 (after 20% disc) |
| Data usage fee | $1/ha | $1/ha |
| Onboarding & config | Waived | N/A |
Phase 2 pricing applies from Month 4 automatically upon written confirmation of a successful pilot review.
