Running a Recoverly pilot: proposal, measures and case study

1. One-page proposal (fill in and sign off)

1. Organisation: ______________ Contact person: ______________ Programme code to be used: ______________
2. Group: who will be offered it (for example 'drivers at the Pune depot', 'first-year hostel residents', 'patients leaving the de-addiction ward'). Approximate size: ____ (aim for at least 40, so the anonymous figures can appear).
3. Length: 90 days from ______ to ______.
4. What Recoverly provides: the free app in the person's language, your name and support contacts on their dashboard, a poster and QR code, a 45-minute session outline, and the anonymous monthly report if you ask for it. A clinic or community service can also have the private team workspace.
5. What Recoverly does not do: give medical advice or treatment, tell you who joined, or show you what anyone logs.
6. What you provide: a named person to run the launch session, a place for the poster, and your support contacts.
7. Cost: ______________ (to be agreed; individuals always use Recoverly free).
8. Either side can stop at any time by writing to us. Data handling is as described on the trust page.

2. Success measures (agree these before you start)

• Reach: how many people were offered the code, and how many were counted in the monthly report (the report shows this only once 20 or more are counted).
• Stay: the monthly report's trend over the 90 days. People choose whether to be counted, so say honestly that it understates use.
• Progress (only where the organisation has progress figures switched on): the average share of days with no drink, for groups of 20 or more. These are self-reported figures, not clinical outcomes.
• Experience: two or three short comments from the person who ran the session, and from people who volunteer, written without names.
• Safety: any concern raised, and how it was handled.

Decide in advance what result would make you continue, change or stop.

3. Case-study template (write this at the end)

• The situation: who you support and why drinking was a concern.
• What we did: the launch session, poster placement, how people were told it is private.
• What happened: the numbers from the report, with the date range, and what they do and do not show.
• What people said: two or three comments, with no names.
• What we would change next time.
• Permission: confirm in writing that the organisation agrees to the case study being shared and in what form.
