ANALYSIS · PROOF ROADMAP
Technical Feasibility
Establish technical confidence by finding the biggest blockers to the product vision – early.
Ambitious products live at the edge of what current technology can do. The question worth answering first: where are the hardest bottlenecks, what does it take to resolve each one, and which assumptions must be proven before architecture and budget commit.
DELIVERABLES
ARigorous assessment of how the proposed device or feature can be made technically viable
BThe biggest technical bottlenecks, hard constraints, and assumptions that must hold
CEvaluation of candidate approaches against requirements and operating constraints
DA clear line between known, unknown, and what must be proven next

MODEL-BASED DESIGN · ARCHITECTURE DOSSIER
System Architecture
The strongest hardware programmes are shaped before the first board is laid out.
The architecture chosen up front sets how the device performs, how it manufactures, how it is tested, and how cheaply it can change later. Better Devices models the solution space and documents the trade-offs across hardware, embedded software, and firmware.
DELIVERABLES
AProduct architecture with documented trade-offs across HW, embedded SW, and firmware
BSubsystem decomposition aligned with interface and certification requirements
CInterface definitions between sensors, processors, wireless modules, and cloud
DModel-based exploration of the solution space before schematic or code

QUANTITATIVE · THREE-CASE COST MODEL
Cost Modelling
Most of a product’s cost is committed in decisions, long before it lands on an invoice.
The architecture, the components, and the engineering the design implies fix the economics early. Better Devices makes that cost visible while it can still be shaped – engineering, BOM, and lifecycle, at target volumes.
DELIVERABLES
AWorst-case, base-case, and best-case cost models at target volumes
BBOM analysis with component substitution options and quantity sensitivity
CCost drivers and optimization priorities identified before design freeze
DVolume sensitivity that informs sourcing and production strategy

COMPARATIVE · RANKED RISK REGISTER
Risk Analysis
What separates programmes that ship on time is how early risk is made visible.
Every ambitious hardware programme carries technical risk. Better Devices finds what is most likely to derail a programme, quantifies it, and builds the mitigation plan while addressing it is still cheap.
DELIVERABLES
AComponent, architecture, and pathway options compared against risk criteria
BEOL exposure, obsolescence, and single-source dependency assessment
CTechnology maturity, complexity, and integration uncertainty evaluation
DA ranked risk register with mitigations tied to architecture decisions
