FOUNDATIONS
Where PACCS comes from — the corpus, the funding, the academic environment.
International Public Health Film Festival
Founded as a charity in Oxford and transferred to PAHUS Studios in 2025. Source of our 4,726-film training corpus and seven years of structured programming data — the empirical backbone PACCS is trained against.
UKRI Creative Catalyst
R&D backing for the PACCS multi-agent architecture. UKRI's Creative Catalyst programme supports R&D in the UK creative industries; PACCS' four-agent reasoning system was developed under this award.
UCL Innovation & Enterprise
Academic and infrastructure partnership. PACCS is built within the UCL BaseKX innovation environment, drawing on UCL's research community for academic rigour around explainability and audit standards.
INTERNATIONAL PROGRAMMES
Professional engagements that informed PACCS positioning beyond the UK.
Singapore GBIP 2024
Asia market validation programme. Tested PACCS positioning with Singapore creative-tech ecosystem partners, regulators, and platform operators — informing how the product surfaces audience and distribution intelligence across non-UK markets.
