How we work
Structured, transparent, physics-first.
We keep engagements simple: define the question precisely, model it correctly, and deliver results that hold under scrutiny. No bespoke methodology, no opaque process.
Scoping call
30–60 min · No feeWe establish the physics of the problem. You explain what you're trying to prove or disprove; we ask the questions that matter. At the end, we give you an honest read on scope and whether we can help.
Scoping proposal
1–3 business daysA written proposal defining the technical question, the modeling approach, deliverables, timeline, and cost. Fixed-fee or hourly — stated upfront. No retainers-until-unknown.
Modeling & experimental work
Project-dependentPhysics-native analysis: first-principles models, calibrated against data. For autonomous lab engagements, we design and deploy agents against your experimental infrastructure — not a report about what you could build, but a working system. No black-box tools, no analyst-layer proxies.
Deliverables
Report · Model · DatasetWritten technical report, working simulation model or dataset, and a summary of key sensitivities and risks. Deliverables are structured for expert handoff — not executive summaries that lose the physics.
Handoff & optional retainer
Your choiceWe walk through the work, answer questions, and hand over all files. For ongoing projects, a monthly retainer is available — covering model updates, scenario analysis, and technical advisory.
Rates
Engagements are priced as consulting hours or fixed-fee project scope, depending on what's appropriate. We don't have a self-serve product. There's no checkout flow. All rates are discussed and agreed before work begins.
