Arts · Illuminate-compatible attendance
Audience data your funder accepts.
Illuminate asks when each visitor last attended. Surveys estimate it. Circuit measures it. Every check-in.
Self-report is no longer enough.
ACE Illuminate has changed what counts as audience data, and self-reported new-versus-returning is no longer enough for the funders who have moved to the framework.
Verification, not estimation
Verified at the door.
Circuit captures verified return at the door, on the same tap that admits a guest, and binds it to a single record across every event in your season, your venue, and your touring footprint.
Generated from the record, not assembled.
The reporting your development team and your auditor need is generated from the record, not assembled by hand from a survey three weeks before the deadline that nobody quite trusts. After 100 writes, the record describes relationships no export reconstructs.
Generated from the record · not assembled by hand
Verification, not a survey.
ACE Illuminate asks for verified return; a tap at the door is verification, a survey is not.
How it works.
- 01
Tap
Block on the wall · card, phone, or printed pass at the door. The same action that admits creates the record. No survey, no clipboard.
- 02
Record
Bound to a verified identity. Returns counted once. Live for your team, audited for your funder, same shape for trustees.
- 03
Recognition
Quarterly reports in your funder’s framework. Per-event lines your auditor can verify against the record. No deck rebuild.
Same record across season · venue · tour
Route into Pro, Venue, or Enterprise by programme size. £200 to £2,000 a year, annualised.
