We've productised our experience into four fixed-scope packages.

Every project starts with understanding your needs. After 15 years and many projects we've seen the same problem: clients don't know what they need - so we have designed set packages to match where you are in your product development journey.

You get transparent pricing, defined deliverables and realistic timelines before you commit. No surprises. Just clarity on what you're buying and what you'll own at the end.

Choose the package that matches where you are. If you're between stages, we'll tell you honestly which makes sense.

Package 1: Feasibility Study

Validate Your Idea Before Major Investment

£6,000 - £12,000

Timeline: 3-6 weeks

Perfect For:

  • Early-stage ideas that need technical validation
  • Companies unsure if their concept is technically feasible
  • Projects where you need a clear go/no-go decision
  • Teams seeking cost and timeline estimates before committing

What You Get:

  • Technical Feasibility Report: Detailed analysis of whether your product can be built
  • Architecture Overview: High-level system design
  • Technology Recommendations: Specific chips, sensors, connectivity options
  • Risk Assessment: Technical challenges and potential blockers
Feasibility Study Documentation

Cost & Timeline Analysis:

  • Development cost estimate
  • Per-unit manufacturing cost at 100, 1k, 10k volumes
  • Realistic development schedule from prototype to production

Deliverables:

  • 20-30 page feasibility report (PDF)
  • System architecture diagrams
  • Bill of Materials (estimated)
  • 60-minute presentation of findings

Package 2: Functional Prototype Development

Prove the Concept with Working Hardware

£20,000 - £40,000

Timeline: 8-16 weeks

Perfect For:

  • Startups seeking investor funding and need working demo
  • Companies validating market interest with real product
  • Teams wanting to test core functionality before full investment
  • Projects needing proof-of-concept for internal approval
Functional Prototype Development

Why This Matters:

A working prototype lets you test with real users, validate assumptions, secure funding and make design changes before expensive manufacturing commitments. Many clients use this to raise Series A funding.

What You Get:

  • Working Prototype: 3-5 functional units demonstrating core features
  • Electronics Design: Custom PCB with key sensors and connectivity
  • Basic Firmware: Core functionality operational
  • Simple Mobile App: Basic iOS/Android app for control
  • Cloud Backend: Basic data storage and API
  • 3D Printed Enclosure: Functional housing
  • Technical Documentation: Architecture, schematics, BOM
  • Demo Video: Professional footage showing product in action

Next Steps:

After prototype validation, most clients proceed to Package 3 (Market-Ready Development) for manufacturing-optimized design, certifications, and production setup.

Package 4: Product Enhancement

Add Smart Features to Existing Products

£15,000 - £60,000

Timeline: 8-24 weeks

Perfect For:

  • Manufacturers with established product lines needing IoT upgrade
  • Companies adding connectivity to existing devices
  • Products requiring remote monitoring or control capabilities
  • Businesses modernizing legacy equipment

Our Approach:

  • Minimal Disruption: Add smart features without redesigning entire product
  • Backward Compatible: Maintain existing functionality
  • Cost-Conscious: Maximize value while minimizing per-unit cost increase
  • Quick to Market: Shorter timeline than new product development

Common Enhancements:

  • Add IoT Connectivity: WiFi, 4G, Bluetooth, or LoRaWAN
  • Remote Monitoring: Cloud dashboard showing device status
  • Mobile App Control: iOS/Android app for remote operation
  • Voice Integration: Alexa, Google Home, or Siri control
  • Predictive Maintenance: Sensor data analysis for failure prediction
  • Usage Analytics: Track how customers use your product
  • Firmware Updates: OTA update capability
  • Platform Integration: Connect to existing enterprise systems
Product Enhancement and IoT Upgrade

What You Get:

  • Enhanced electronics design (add-on module or integrated redesign)
  • Updated firmware with new connectivity features
  • Mobile app for monitoring/control (if needed)
  • Cloud backend for data collection (if needed)
  • Manufacturing transition plan

ROI Benefits:

  • Command premium pricing (typically 20-40% higher)
  • Differentiate from competitors still selling "dumb" versions
  • Gather usage data to improve future products
  • Reduce support costs through remote diagnostics
  • Create subscription revenue opportunities

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I start with one package and upgrade later?

Yes! Most clients start with Package 1 (Feasibility) or Package 2 (Prototype), then upgrade to Package 3 (Market-Ready). We credit previous work toward the next phase.

What's included in the price?

All design work, development, testing, and deliverables listed in each package. Does NOT include: manufacturing costs, certification test fees, tooling costs, or ongoing hosting fees.

Do you charge for changes during development?

Minor refinements are included. Major scope changes are quoted separately. We provide clear change request process to keep projects on track.

Who owns the intellectual property?

You own 100% of all IP created during the project. Full source code, design files, and documentation are transferred upon completion.

What happens if my project goes over budget?

We provide fixed-price quotes with clear scope. If scope increases, we discuss and approve changes before proceeding. No surprise bills.

Do you help with manufacturing?

Yes! Package 3 includes manufacturing package preparation and supplier coordination. We can recommend partners or work with yours.
