Advisory
Advisory and consulting for frontier hardware.
The same analysis that sits behind our titles, applied directly to one decision: a market entry, a technology bet, a supply chain exposure, or a capital allocation.
Engagement types
Scope and duration are set per engagement. Most begin with a scoping call to establish whether we are the right fit.
Engagement
Market entry diligence
Independent assessment of a target market before commitment: who the credible vendors are, where the physical ceilings sit, and what has to be true for the economics to work.
Engagement
Technology benchmarking
Side-by-side evaluation of competing approaches against first-principles limits rather than vendor claims or press-release figures.
Engagement
Supply chain mapping
Upstream dependency analysis: qualified suppliers, single points of failure, capacity constraints, and realistic lead times.
Engagement
Investor & board briefings
Structured briefings for investment committees and boards that need a defensible technical baseline before capital allocation.
How we work
Three constraints shape every deliverable we produce.
Principle 01
Physics before narrative
Every engagement starts from what the hardware can actually do. Market narrative is assessed against that baseline, not the other way around.
Principle 02
Independent of vendors
We take no vendor commissions on advisory work. Where a commercial relationship exists elsewhere in the network, it is disclosed in the engagement letter.
Principle 03
Written to be challenged
Deliverables state assumptions explicitly and show the sensitivity of conclusions to each one, so a technical reader can stress-test the reasoning.
