Consulting scope varies widely from short technical reviews to multi-month engineering engagements, so we set pricing per engagement after discussing your needs.
Case examples
Each link below opens a one-page case sketch describing the situation, the work, and the outcome of an engagement of the type described. The examples are illustrative composites and do not refer to specific past customers, projects, or engagement terms.
- Aggregate substitution audit — choosing between a familiar long-haul source and a closer alternative when the closer source has not yet been characterized against the printing envelope.
- Admixture rationalization — simplifying a four-line admixture system from three vendors to two, without losing pumping stability or print-edge definition.
- Carbon-disclosure response for a public-funded RFP — producing the embodied-carbon disclosure required by procurement language, with a substitution path inside the spec threshold.
- Qualification work-plan for a novel binder — sequencing test methods so a novel binder clears into production or fails early enough to allow a substitution before schedule is at risk.
How an engagement starts
The first step is a thirty-minute call to confirm the question is in scope and to size the work. We follow up with a written scope and a fixed fee for the engagement before any analytical work begins. Engagements that fall outside our scope (jurisdictional engineering sign-off, opinions on legal validity, third-party product certification) are referred to the appropriate licensed professional or accredited body.
If you are interested in consulting, please send an e-mail to [email protected] and we will follow up to scope the work.
