Basic:
Best for: early ideas that need engineering reality check.
Includes
- 45 - 60 min kickoff call
- Requirements capture (what it must do + constraints)
- High-level architecture / block diagram
- Key component direction (battery/power/MCU/USB approach)
- Risk list (top technical risks + unknowns)
- Phase roadmap (what happens next + estimated cost ranges)
Standard:
Best for: founders who want a real plan thats ready to enter design.
Includes everything in Starter, plus
- Preliminary BOM direction (major components) + cost target range
- Power architecture plan (battery/charging/regulators)
- Interface/I/O plan (USB, sensors, buttons, displayswhatever applies)
- Manufacturing approach (prototype strategy + DFM notes)
- Milestone plan with schedule + build/test checkpoints
Premium:
Best for: serious build-to-production teams and fundraising-ready documentation.
Includes everything in Standard, plus
- Deeper BOM + sourcing risk (lead time risk, alternates)
- Compliance & testing considerations (pre-EMI/ESD strategy, certification path notes)
- Prototype build plan (who builds, whats needed, test approach)
- Cost-down considerations (early DFM choices)
- Optional: second review meeting and revised report af
