This review only makes sense when a real decision is imminent.
When this review is appropriate
Tooling / supplier lock-in / production decision is 2–6 weeks away
CAD is largely stable
A BOM exists (even if imperfect)
There is a named decision owner (someone accountable)
When it is not appropriate
Concepts are still fluid
Manufacturing route is undefined
There’s no imminent irreversible commitment
The goal is extra execution capacity
What happens
Qualification (15–30 min)
Confirm timing, decision owner, artifacts available, and whether the review can actually change the outcome.
Intake
CAD/BOM/drawings (as available), supplier context, target volumes, constraints, known concerns.
Review + working sessions
Focused analysis + short calls to test assumptions, not waste time.
Delivery
Risk register + findings + readiness verdict + decision memo.
Decision call (optional)
A final conversation with the decision owner to align on next steps.
How engagements are accepted
Requests are reviewed manually.
If the timing or context isn’t right, you’ll be told directly—because the wrong review is worse than no review.
