How We Work Together
Start small, prove value, then scale. Most engagements begin with a fixed-scope pilot, so you can see the quality of the work before committing to more. From there, the relationship grows as far as the work earns it.
Three ways to work with us
Each stage builds on the last. You are never locked into more than the step in front of you.
Sprint
Weekly
Fixed-scope diagnostic
A fixed-scope, fixed-price pilot. One well-defined question, one validated answer.
What you get
A validated model and a report you can act on, plus a clear view of how we work.
When it fits
A first project, or any time you need a fast, defensible answer to a contained question.
Program
Milestone-based
Full project
The complete validation or optimization project, once the Sprint proves the fit.
What you get
A full analysis package: models, validation, documentation, and recommendations your team and reviewers can trust.
When it fits
A real design or validation effort with multiple questions and dependencies.
Partner
Monthly retainer
Reserved capacity
A monthly retainer that reserves capacity. We become your on-call simulation function.
What you get
Priority access, faster turnaround, and a partner who already knows your hardware as your designs iterate.
When it fits
Ongoing development where simulation is a recurring need.
Every Engagement
What you get at every stage
Whatever the size of the project, the standards do not change.
First-Principles Analysis
Grounded in the underlying physics, not approximations or rule-of-thumb estimates.
Traceable Documentation
Assumptions, convergence studies, and V&V packages organized for technical review.
Clear Communication
Regular milestone updates so you always know where the work stands.
Benchmark Validation
Results validated against your data or published standards before delivery.
Direct Access
The principal engineer on every engagement. No hand-offs once the work begins.
The Process
How a typical engagement flows
01
Discovery
A short call to understand the problem and whether we can genuinely help.
02
Scope
A written, fixed-scope proposal with a clear price and defined deliverables.
03
Deliver
The modeling work itself, validated against data and fully documented.
04
Expand
We review the results together and define the next step, if there is one.
The Deep Technical Specialist Your Team Is Missing
Bring us the thermal, radiative, or electromagnetic problem your current tools can't crack, and we'll tell you straight whether we can help.
