The journey, phase by phase

Typical timings for a connected product. Point at any step for its detail.

01Define

3 steps

  1. 01 DISCOVER · DefineWeek 1

    Discovery

    A call with engineers, then clear written targets.

    • Measurable requirements
    • Risks listed
    • NDA if needed

    You getRequirements sheet

02Design & prototype

2 steps

03Validate

3 steps

04Produce & deliver

3 steps

Prototype to mass production

Each build is bigger, and answers one question. EVT, DVT, PVT, then MP.

  1. A compact assembled board beside a coin for scale
    POC1–3 units

    Proof of concept

    Can it be done?

    Dev kits and quick prints.

    • Core idea works
    • Riskiest part solved
    • Rough cost known

    To move onRisky question answered.

  2. Two assembled GPS tracker boards on a cutting mat
    EVT5–20 units

    Engineering validation

    Does our design work?

    First custom PCBs, printed housings.

    • Every function works
    • Power, heat, radio on target
    • Bugs found and fixed

    To move onAll requirements met on the bench.

  3. A smartwatch opened up, showing its main board inside the case
    DVT20–100 units

    Design validation

    Does it work everywhere?

    Final boards, near-production housings.

    • Survives heat, drops, water
    • Passes ESD / EMC pre-checks
    • Real users can use it
    • Ready for certification

    To move onDesign frozen.

  4. PVT100–500 units

    Production validation

    Can the factory build it?

    The real line, jigs and operators.

    • Yield on target
    • Cost confirmed
    • Jigs catch defects
    • Packaging survives

    To move onGolden sample signed.

  5. One smartwatch in five colourways
    MP1,000+ units

    Mass production

    Can we build it steadily?

    Full-rate production line.

    • Quality holds every batch
    • Supply keeps up
    • Field data feeds fixes

    To move onEvery batch inspected before shipping.

Quantities are typical. Simple boards can skip stages.

Six tracks, one schedule

How a phase is approved

Every phase ends with a gate review. Your call.

At every gate you get

A demo

See it working — live or on video.

Measured results

Pass / fail on every requirement.

Open issues

What's left, and when it's fixed.

Cost and schedule

Budget and date, updated.

Your decision

Recorded in writing.

Three possible outcomes

Go

All passed. Next phase starts.

Go with conditions

Small fixes, tracked. Next phase starts.

Hold

Fix first. Review again.

Changes after a gate

  • Changes are welcome after a gate
  • Cost and time impact written first
  • Nothing changes until you approve

How you stay in the loop

No chasing needed.

Every week

Weekly update

Done, next, blockers.

Each milestone

Video demos

See it working, not just read about it.

End of each phase

Gate reviews

A short call. Your decision.

From day one

Shared files

All files visible as they're made.

One engineer

One contact who knows everything.

Each build
