Risk Assessment
Independent review of your hardware product, to derisk its way to the market.
Sample deliverable
See a sample Risk Assessment report
A report example, based on the Owntech microinverter, so you can see exactly what can you get from us.
Most hardware risk is locked in early and only surfaces during certification or prototyping. We assess architecture, technology choices and the certification path side by side, so the risks come up while changes are still cheap.
What we assess
Any project document, from requirements to production: architecture, block diagram, grounding diagrams, detailed design files, and certification path.
How we work
We talk, we read your documentation and we understand your goals. We then analyse your documentation, highlight the risks, ask a lot of why questions, and give you a derisking path to production.
Who it's for
Teams about to commit to a design, lock a BOM, or start a certification campaign. Also useful for investors who want a technical second opinion.
How it works
01
Scope & inputs
We agree the scope, target markets and standards, and gather your architecture, BOM and any existing test data.
02
Working sessions
Two to three sessions with your team to walk through the architecture, technology choices and assumptions.
03
Independent analysis
We map every block against the certification path, the BOM and production constraints, and build a prioritised risk register.
04
Written assessment & debrief
You receive a written risk assessment with concrete recommendations, followed by a debrief to align on next steps.
Deliverables
- Written risk assessment
- Prioritised risk register
- Certification path assessment
- Concrete next-step recommendations
Highlights
- Independent written deliverable, not just a call
- Tied to all your product documents
- Surfaces issues while changes are still cheap
- Useful for engineering teams, founders and investors
What you'll get from this conversation
- A 30-min working session with a senior hardware engineer.
- A written next-step note covering the biggest risks we already see.
- Honest answer on whether we're the right partner — or who is.
Short intake first. We review every project before scheduling.
Frequently asked questions
What information do you need?+
Whatever you want to share. We perform the assessment based on the documentation we receive and we go as far as we can with it.
What if the assessment finds major issues?+
That is the point. Better to surface them now than during certification. You get a prioritised remediation plan, and we can stay engaged to help close the gaps.
