Independent R&D services

Technical Equipment Evaluation

Structured evaluation of an agreed device or equipment item, including inspection, test planning and documented observations.

• Initial technical brief and scope
• Defined evaluation method
• Testing/observations within agreed capabilities
• Written findings and limitations

Typical duration: 5–10 business days, depending on scope.

Technical Feasibility Study

Early-stage investigation of whether a proposed technical approach is feasible within agreed constraints.

• Problem definition
• Research of relevant technical approaches
• Feasibility considerations and risks
• Decision-oriented report

Typical duration: 1–2 weeks.

Applied R&D Study

Deeper investigation of a defined research question involving experimentation, comparison and analysis.

• Research plan
• Experimental work
• Analysis of observations/data
• Technical report and recommendations

Typical duration: 2–4 weeks, depending on scope.

Prototype / Proof of Concept

Experimental prototype or proof-of-concept work used to test an idea before further development.

• Prototype definition
• Experimental implementation
• Testing and iteration
• Documentation of results and limitations

Typical duration: project dependent.

Advanced R&D Project

Multi-stage technical research involving several investigation, testing and iteration phases.

• Detailed scope and milestones
• Research and experimental cycles
• Interim findings
• Final technical documentation

Typical duration: custom schedule.

Custom R&D Programme

For projects that do not fit a standard package. Scope, milestones, deliverables and price are agreed before work starts.

• Bespoke research scope
• Milestone-based delivery
• Confidentiality provisions where agreed
• Custom commercial proposal
