ALGIM Learning Exchange · Melbourne · 11–12 Aug 2026
Every council
has one.
Write your text here...
The process everyone complains about — that never quite makes it to the top of the budget.
This year, it can. We'll match your council's investment dollar for dollar, up to $10,000, to turn one process into a working project.
It's the biggest offer we've ever made — to anyone. And we're making it once.
One voucher per council. Offer ends 31 December 2026. (Our accountant has asked us never to do this again.)
STAGE 02

Know the problem, want proof? We prototype the fix on your real use case

AI Opportunity Audit
Find out which of your processes is genuinely worth improving — before spending real money. We look across departments, not just IT's shortlist, so the recommendation reflects what your staff actually feel the pain of.
You receive: a review of 2–3 candidate processes, a ranked recommendation, a suggested starting point.
$2,500$1,250ex GST
AI Literacy Workshop
Give your leaders and process owners the judgement to know where AI helps — and where it doesn't. Built for people who make decisions about software, not for people who write code.
You receive: a half‑day hands‑on session, practical do's and don'ts for council work, a framework for assessing future AI proposals.
$2,500$1,250ex GST
Vibe Coding Workshop
Watch a working tool get built live, on one of your team's real annoyances — in a single session. No slides about the future of AI — an actual tool, running, by the end of the afternoon.
You receive: a live build session with your team, a small working tool to keep, a feel for what's now possible.
$2,500$1,250ex GST
Solve
Discovery Workshop
We come to you, map one process end to end, and hand you a clear picture of what to fix and how. Useful even if you decide not to go further — you keep the map either way.
You receive: an on‑site half‑day, a process map and glossary, a scoped recommendation.
$5,000$2,500ex GST
One‑Process Prototype
A working proof of concept on your real use case — evidence before commitment. Built against your actual data or a realistic sample, not a generic demo.
You receive: a working prototype, test findings from your data, a go / revise / stop recommendation.
From $10,000$5,000ex GST
Automation Quick Win
One painful manual task, automated end to end. Small, fast, measurable — the kind of fix a team notices within the first week.
You receive: one automated workflow, live, documentation and handover, a measured before/after.
From $7,500 $3,750 ex GST
Scale
Powered by Keystone
Process‑to‑App Build
Turn one slow, paper‑based process into a secure web app your staff and residents actually use. Built on Keystone, so the prototype's logic carries straight through to production.
You receive: a live web app with role‑based access, automated reminders, online payments where needed, training, and handover.
From $20,000$10,000ex GST
Legacy Process Replacement
Retire the spreadsheet‑and‑email workflow everyone's afraid to touch — replaced with a system that won't leave with the person who built it.
You receive: a live operational system, migration from your current workaround, documentation your team owns.
From $20,000$10,000 ex GST
Custom System Build
A bespoke system designed around how your council actually works. Not a template — scoped to your workflows from day one.
You receive: a system built to your workflows, your council owns the project deliverables, ongoing support available.
Priced to scope
Prices show the Fund's maximum match applied to that service alone. The Fund contributes up to $10,000 per council in total — see funding below. Prices shown throughout are typical project prices before funding.
HOW THE FUND WORKS
Matched, dollar for dollar.
UpScale funds half of your eligible project price, dollar for dollar, up to a maximum contribution of $10,000 ex GST.
Prices shown are typical project prices before funding.
Only stack what your council genuinely needs — scope agreed before work begins. One voucher per council.
CEO briefing
Taking this to your CEO?
A contained way to test one improvement — no council-wide commitment.
1. Start with one process in any department — no council-wide commitment
2. Success measures agreed before work begins
3. Proceed to the next stage only on evidence
4. Scope and price agreed before work begins
5. Your council owns the project deliverables
6. Works alongside your normal procurement process
OUR DIFFERENTIATOR
Scale is powered by Keystone.
Keystone is UpScale's AI‑assisted build engine — the same approach behind decades of secure, mission‑critical software, now applied to council processes. It's how a Process‑to‑App Build goes from prototype to production without the risk of a from‑scratch rebuild.
Every system we hand over is one your council owns outright — the deliverables, the documentation, the ability to run it without us.
Decades
of mission‑critical software experience behind every build
AI‑assisted
development that speeds up delivery without cutting corners on security
Council‑owned
your council keeps the deliverables — regardless of what happens next
What could your council build?
A sample of the processes other councils have started with. If yours isn't here, it still qualifies — bring it to the stand.

Frequently asked
Does this replace our procurement process?
No — it's a discount on our invoice. Your normal approvals still apply.
What's your Local Government experience?
Our director has been a councillor since 2019 — and $10,000 is on the line.
What if the project doesn't work out?
Every stage ends with something useful, whether or not you continue.
How do you handle security and our data?
Nothing goes live without sign-off. Workshops touch no systems at all.
The Fund ends 31 Dec — is that enough time?
Yes — only the invoice needs to be paid by then, not the work completed.
Who actually does the work?
A small Australian team — no offshore handoffs, no account managers.
