Services · Core offerings

Three specialist services, delivered by people who have run programmes from the inside.

Each one ends with the work done and your team better able to carry it forward.

01 · Product Accelerator

From idea to revenue. Faster.

Good technology fails commercially all the time. Usually it's because go-to-market work starts once the product is finished, and by then there's no pipeline and the IP window is closing. We run go-to-market alongside development, from day one.

Sound familiar?

  • The product is ready to launch, with no customers lined up.
  • The engineering is proven, but nobody can answer 'how do we sell it?'
  • You're entering a market where you have no relationships.
  • The founding team are technically strong but light on commercial experience.
  • The product and the market are drifting apart.
  • Your IP advantage has a shelf life, and the clock is running.

How it works

Three phases, each with a checkpoint before the next one starts.

5–10 days
FoundationWhere the technology stands, who it's for, and what the market really looks like.
7–12 days
StrategyPositioning, pricing, the commercial model and the route to partners.
5–8 days
ReadinessThe prospect list, the messaging and the plan, ready to use.

02 · Advanced Product Performance & Attributes

Performance and attributes, delivered by people who have done it.

For EV start-ups, scale-ups and commercial vehicle OEMs, at any stage of a programme. We work as embedded engineering support, as integrators across attributes, or as the independent voice your senior leadership need before they put their name to the next milestone.

Every consultant is a former OEM Chief Engineer or Principal Attribute Engineer with 15+ years' experience. No juniors, by design.

Four problems we solve, repeatedly

Targets that won't hold upTarget-setting gets squeezed by deliverable pressure and signed off without the rigour it needs. The targets then turn out to be incompatible at a tollgate. We make target-setting work that holds up under audit.
The wood gets lost in the treesIntegrators are overloaded, and by design they are generalists. Pointing out what's missing carries a political cost, so nobody says it. We bring depth and an independent voice at the same time.
No time for technical roadmappingStart-ups and scale-ups can't justify a dedicated roadmap team. We provide one on demand, balanced across the five attributes that matter most in your segment.
Benchmarking without interpretationTeardown data is everywhere, but what it means for your engineering usually isn't. We turn that data into engineering action.

Four stages, the same shape for every engagement

  1. 1InitiateThe Pi Diagnostic. Two senior consultants on site for one-to-ones, workshops and a review of your documents. A concise report and a face-to-face playback, not a 200-page deck.
  2. 2DeliverAt the depth your problem needs: a discrete deliverable, integration triage, or design-to-deliver embedded with your engineers. A weekly update, without exception.
  3. 3VerifyRobust means defendable. Every requirement is linked to a way of validating it, and we check the question as well as the answer.
  4. 4Sign-offWe sign off on readiness, not on timelines. The signature stays with you. We make it defendable.
You leave stronger, not dependentYou keep the methodology, the templates and tools, a structured handover and a mapped plan for what your team own from here. We don't impose check-ins afterwards. The door stays open, and you decide when to use it.

It tells you which of the four problems are real for you and what to do about them. Many engagements stop there. Some grow.

03 · EE Architecture

From a blank page to an architecture you can commit to.

The first six to twelve months of an EE programme carry the most risk. The architecture isn't settled, the requirements are still moving, no suppliers have been chosen and the legislation is unclear. Internal teams are stretched thinnest, and Tier 1s and large engineering service providers are least interested: they're built for production, where the scale and the budgets are.

We turn ambiguity into architecture.And we're called in later too, when a system in service isn't behaving the way it was designed to.

What we deliver

  • EE architecture at sub-system, system and whole-vehicle level
  • System requirements broken down, and failure modes analysed
  • Concept work for embedded systems
  • Prototypes, where a theory needs proving before you commit to production
  • A functional design that tells you which suppliers to source from, and who should take it into production
  • In-field issue resolution: root cause and fix when an electrical or software system misbehaves in service

How we work

We don't start from zeroOur own playbooks and a growing knowledge base: current legislation, features and use cases, control systems mapped to logical functions, and proven architecture layouts.
Safety and security from day oneFunctional safety and cyber security are part of the concept, not bolted on at the end.
A Pi team, a Pi methodWe don't place individual engineers in your team and leave them to it.
Who it's for

Automotive and embedded-systems programmes first. Increasingly the wider mobility sector: e-mobility, micro-mobility, off-highway, marine and robotics.

What we don't do

Series production (we hand over to production partners), general-purpose operating systems such as Linux, or application software outside mobility. Defence and aerospace are out of scope for now.
