## Services

Development journey — the four phases we support:

1. Product Clarity & Positioning — feasibility analysis, technology and competitor investigation, technical risk identification, structured roadmap and positioning.
2. Concept & Requirements Drafting — vision translated into system architecture, technical requirements and design constraints ready for engineering.
3. Prototyping & Development — functional prototypes built and validated in focused sprints with integrated system development.
4. Quality Control & Production Transfer — early QC, design for manufacturability and COGS optimization, guided transfer to scale.

Core service packages:

- Prototyping & Development — full development cycle from concept to pilot-scale manufacturing. Timeline 9–18 months, 4–8 specialists, milestone-based payments. Ideal for Series A+ companies with a clear product vision.
- System Optimization — performance, reliability and manufacturing-cost improvement of existing microfluidic systems. Timeline 3–8 months, 2–5 specialists.

Entry-level packages for early-stage teams (low commitment, fast access to expertise): Quick Start Assessment, Market Pulse Report, Design Review.
