How it moves

You approve each stage before anyone builds.

  1. 01FeasibilityA written answer: can it exist, with which architecture and which parts.
  2. 02First buildA working prototype, if the feasibility decision is green.
  3. 03IterationMonthly loops you can pause; the files stay current and yours.

Send the brief

A short written brief keeps the context without forcing a call. We answer by email, with questions or a scoped proposal.

Questions before a brief.

How much does a product prototype cost?

It starts with a $3,500 Feasibility Sprint, half of which is credited against a First Build started within 60 days. A First Build runs $12,000 to $18,000 by complexity, with partner fabrication and electronics at documented cost.

How long does a prototype take?

Feasibility comes first and takes weeks, so the first build starts from a written answer on what can exist.

Who builds the electronics?

Specialist partners design and build the boards, sensors and firmware. Software and AI integration are done in-house.
