Frequently asked questions
Scope, deliverables, ownership and confidentiality, in plain terms.
- What do you deliver?
- Depending on the project: editable schematics and PCB files, firmware and application source code, deployment instructions, technical documentation and test results. The exact list is agreed in a written scope before work begins.
- Do you manufacture or assemble boards?
- No. We design them. For PCB work we deliver digital output such as Gerber and drill files and a bill of materials, plus fabrication and assembly data when scoped, so a fabrication house of your choice can build them. “Manufacturing-ready files” means that digital output, not a manufacturing service.
- How do you work with clients?
- Remotely. We deliver designs, source files, integrations, documentation, advisory and remote testing assistance. We do not offer installation on site.
- Who owns the work?
- Access, ownership and handover terms are agreed in writing before work begins, and each engagement’s deliverables are subject to the agreed scope and test criteria.
- Do you sign NDAs?
- We can discuss NDA arrangements before reviewing confidential design files. Please don’t paste unpublished schematics into the first-contact form; we’ll agree how to share them first.
- Can you work on a design or firmware someone else wrote?
- Yes. A review is usually the right first step: we read the design or code, measure where we can, and give you a ranked list of findings before anyone rewrites anything.
- How is a project priced?
- As a written proposal after we read your brief, with scope, milestones and acceptance criteria. We publish no universal prices or timelines because they depend on the work.
- What if the scope changes halfway?
- We write the change down, with its effect on price and dates, and continue only when you agree.
- What should I put in my project brief?
- The device or product idea, the problem, your stage (idea, existing design, prototype, pilot or in the field) and any constraints such as power, size or cost. Budget is optional.
