Complete knowledge transfer & documentation

A smooth transition from prototype to scalable production

Our structured three-step approach gives you clarity, control, and confidence to move from design to scalable, high-quality production.

1. Feasibility

A 200-hour, fixed-price feasibility study that identifies technical and supplier-related risks while reviewing documentation needs. The result is a clear GO/NO-GO recommendation supported by a feasibility report, cost estimate, and production timeline.

2. Analysis

Building on the feasibility outcomes, this phase provides targeted analyses based on the client’s priorities. Design, manufacturability, suppliers, and processes are reviewed to deliver a complete picture and clear recommendations for the next steps.

3. Improvement

Focused on implementing findings and preparing for initial production. This phase may include supplier alignment, process validation, and 0-series manufacturing, ending with a structured evaluation and full knowledge transfer for scalable production.
