Included
Questions

Before you book

What kind of things can I ask about?
Anything on your product or idea: whether something is technically possible, how you'd approach a problem, a sanity check on a decision, which direction to take, what a sensible first step is, or a specific engineering question. If it's on your mind and it's product-related, it's fair game.
What if my problem needs more than an hour?
That happens, and I'll say so honestly rather than pretend an hour is enough. If it does, I'll suggest the right next step, often a Design Review or a Feasibility Study, and we go from there. No pressure.
Do you sign an NDA?
Yes, gladly, before you share anything sensitive. Protecting your idea matters and I'm happy to work under a mutual NDA.
What if you can't answer my question?
Then I'll tell you straight, and point you toward who or what can, you won't get waffle to fill the hour. But between mechanical, firmware, thermal and manufacture, and the experience I've had through the full design process, there's usually a lot of ground I can help with.
