Services

Three Core Services

Each service can be engaged individually or combined into one integrated engagement — from a single question to full program execution.

DFX Review & Project Management

We pre-review your design before you build — then walk it into production.

We analyze your specifications against real process capabilities and support the NPI cycle: concept validation, prototype coordination, and qualification planning through EVT/DVT/PVT-style milestones.

What We Deliver:

Manufacturability assessment against your design and process options
Risk heat map with critical tolerances and yield limiters identified
Recommended process route with material alternatives and rationale
QUAL plan aligned with NPI timeline & milestones
Early risk flags — identified and documented before tooling starts

Deliverable: DFX Assessment Report with risk heat map + NPI milestone plan.

Strategic Sourcing & On-Site Audit

We visit suppliers — so you don't have to.

We go on-site to verify real capability — equipment, process control, quality systems, and operational discipline — then score them on a structured TQRDC framework.

What We Verify:

On-site audit findings with TQRDC scores and clear risk commentary
Qualified supplier shortlist with side‑by‑side comparisons of technical and commercial strengths
Second‑source strategy to reduce single‑supplier dependency and secure supply continuity
Technical and commercial terms — including pricing, lead times, and quality terms

Deliverable: Technical Audit Report with TQRDC scoring + Sourcing Report with qualified options.

Research & Investigation Reports

Answers before investment. Evidence before decisions.

Before you commit to a design, a supplier, or a market, you need facts — not brochures. We accept focused investigation assignments and deliver written, defensible reports.

What We Investigate:

Technology feasibility — design, process, or material
Supply chain landscape — capability, capacity
Competitive & market intelligence — positioning, benchmarks
Patent and IP analysis — prior art, FTO opinions
Device teardown and performance benchmarking
Failure or dispute analysis — independent technical opinion

Deliverable: Investigation Report — findings, evidence, and clear written recommendations.

How to Engage

Choose the Engagement That Matches Your Decision

Representative Engagement Packages

Final scope, deliverables, timeline, and commercial terms are defined in the proposal.

Package	Includes	Best For
Investigation Package	Focused technical or supply-chain research assignment	A decision that needs documented facts before investment
Feasibility Package	DFX Review + Initial Supplier Screening	Quick validation of a design, process route, or new supplier
Development Package	DFM & NPI Planning + Supplier Audit + Prototype Coordination	Bringing a design through prototype and qualification
Production Package	Program Management + Production Quality Control	Controlled transfer from approved prototype to production
Annual Partnership	All services + Dedicated Program Coordination	Year-round support for multiple development and production programs

How to Get Started

A low-risk first engagement begins with a protected technical discussion and a clearly defined scope.

Step 1

Share the Requirement

Tell us the intended function, target performance, current design status, quantity, timeline, and the decision you need to make — including patent or IP strategy questions.

Step 2

Protect the Information

We sign your NDA or use our standard agreement before specifications or sensitive information are shared.

Step 3

Review Feasibility and Scope

We identify open technical questions, manufacturing constraints, and required evidence — then define the scope, timeline, deliverables, and a fixed-price proposal.

Step 4

Execute with Documented Checkpoints

The project proceeds through agreed milestones, reviews, validation evidence, and escalation paths.
