Shadow Trial

An exciting new phase

OWNSTABLE has entered the next stage of its development - the first of two trial phases.

These trials provide an opportunity to test the platform in real-world settings with key participants, helping to refine its functionality and user experience. Each phase plays an important role in preparing OWNSTABLE for wider release, ensuring it is practical, effective, and ready to meet the needs of Trainers, Service Providers, and Owners.

Shadow Trial - (complete)

In this trial, we check how well the software supports day to day business activity. We are working with Trainers, Service Providers and Owners to capture the real-life events as they happen to a selected group of horses, then we replay these events through the OWNSTABLE platform. This allows us to confirm that the software performs as expected and gives us the opportunity to tweak and tune where we find issues. The defining characteristic of a shadow trial is that it is the product development team that works with the software - not the intended end users. End users are involved through phone calls and emails to communicate the events as they occur, and the OWNSTABLE team then works with the platform software using this information. No financial transactions take place, and the records for the horse and Service Provider are not touched. This means that we get real world validation with the least possible disruption to everyone's business activities.

This marks a major milestone as we prepare for our first live horse, focusing on real-world testing and valuable user insights to help deliver stability, transparency and connection across the equine industry.

Trainers

During the shadow trial, Trainers will not be asked to directly use the OWNSTABLE platform. The OWNSTABLE team will be entering all tasks and activities on your behalf.

To assist with the trial process, we would appreciate your help with capturing activities that occur with a trial horse.
