Engineering Consultation

Independent technical advice before you commit a budget, or when a project is stuck: design reviews, feasibility opinions, build-or-buy decisions and roadmaps.

Sometimes the most valuable engineering is a straight answer. Our consultations give you an independent opinion from engineers who design and build systems themselves, with no product of our own to sell you.

What we do

  • Design reviews: architecture, schematics, PCBs and code
  • Feasibility opinions on new ideas
  • Build-or-buy and vendor assessments
  • Technology selection and roadmaps
  • Reviews of stalled or troubled projects
  • Technical due diligence before an investment or acquisition
  • Expert support for your in-house team

How a consultation works

  1. Tell us the question. A short description is enough to start.
  2. Agree the scope. We confirm what we will look at, how long it will take and the fee, in writing.
  3. We review. Documents, designs, code or the system itself, under NDA where needed.
  4. You get answers. A written report and a call to walk you through it.

What you receive

  • A written report, with findings ranked by importance
  • A call to walk through the findings and answer questions
  • Practical next steps you can act on, with or without us

A second opinion before you sign

A short design review before you commit to a supplier, a platform or a production run is the cheapest insurance in engineering. Book a consultation.

Questions about consultation

Will you recommend your own services?

Only if you ask. A consultation is independent advice; many end with steps your own team or another supplier can take.

Can you review work done by another company?

Yes. Design and code reviews of third-party work are a common request, and we keep what we see confidential.
