Delivery
Specialist projects, delivered by proven experts.
Bespoke work with defined deliverables, run by people who have led programmes from the inside. Each engagement ends with the work done and your team better able to carry it forward.
From idea to revenue. Faster.
Performance and attributes, delivered by people who have done it.
03 · Electrical/Electronic and Software Systems
From a blank page to an architecture you can commit to.
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.
Foundation
5–10 days
Where the technology stands, who it's for, and what the market really looks like.
What you receive
Prospect database
Validated commercial model
Strategy
7–12 days
Positioning, pricing, the commercial model and the route to partners.
Personalised outreach messages
Live go-to-market project tracker
Readiness
5–8 days
The prospect list, the messaging and the plan, ready to use.
Outreach content pack
Integrated go-to-market plan
Beyond readiness
If you want us in the room, we'll run the execution with you: outreach, customer meetings, partnership activation, events and market intelligence, all the way to first revenue. For founders, CTOs, business development directors and programme directors approaching launch.
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
Four stages, the same shape for every engagement
1
Initiate
The 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
Deliver
At the depth your problem needs: a discrete deliverable, integration triage, or design-to-deliver embedded with your engineers. A weekly update, without exception.
Targets that won't hold up
Target-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.
2–4 weeks
1 week for smaller operations
From £10k
plus expenses, priced transparently
The wood gets lost in the trees
Integrators 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.
Benchmarking without interpretation
Teardown data is everywhere, but what it means for your engineering usually isn't. We turn that data into engineering action.
3
Verify
Robust means defendable. Every requirement is linked to a way of validating it, and we check the question as well as the answer.
4
Sign-off
We sign off on readiness, not on timelines. The signature stays with you. We make it defendable.
No time for technical roadmapping
Start-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.
You leave stronger, not dependent
You 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.
Start here
The Pi Diagnostic
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 · Electrical/Electronic and Software Systems
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.
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 zero
Our 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 one
Functional safety and cyber security are designed in from day one, so there are no costly redesigns at safety case or type approval.
Who it's for
Automotive and embedded-systems programmes first. Increasingly the wider mobility sector: e-mobility, micromobility, off-highway, marine and robotics.
A Pi team, a Pi method
We don't place individual engineers in your team and leave them to it. You get a Pi team, working the Pi method, with our backing throughout.
When programmes get big
We work alongside your teams and our network of trusted partners to deliver larger, complex EE and software programmes.
Already in service?
We also fix systems after launch. When an electrical or software system in the field isn't behaving the way it was designed to, we find the root cause and put it right.
Start here
The Pi Architecture Sprint
Starting from a blank page? We turn your requirements into a concept architecture you can commit to, with safety and security built in.
Let's get it built.
