The program uses a staged process, designed to manage risk while providing a straightforward pathway for trialling Queensland-developed solutions:

- Release – a challenge statement is released to market.
- Engage – applications are assessed, and shortlisted applicants (SME/scaleup) may be invited to present their proposed solutions with the evaluation panel.
- Select – an applicant (SME/scaleup) with feasible solutions is selected and final parameters and negotiations are finalised before entering the project stage.
- Fund – the successful applicant (SME/scaleup) will receive funding from Advance Queensland and the corporate to develop and pilot their proposed solution.
