The challenge

The problem

Hardware projects often go over budget because key assumptions were never tested before development started.

Untested assumptions

Power, range, size and cost targets are set before anyone checks they can be met together.

Wrong chip or platform

A component choice made early becomes expensive to change later.

Late certification and supply surprises

Certification, part availability and lead times surface in the middle of the project.

What we assess

You get a written report: risks ranked by impact, a recommended architecture, a rough BOM cost range and a plan for the next phase.

Technical feasibility of the key functions

Chip, module and component choice, including availability and lifecycle

Power, RF, size and thermal constraints

Certification path for your target markets (CE, RED, FCC and others)

Cost and schedule risks, with a rough BOM cost range

Build-vs-buy options for hardware, software and cloud

How we work
