Engagement Risk Assessment & Recommendation
Prepared for [Client Company] — [Project Name]
1. What This Engagement Prevents
A delayed product launch due to firmware integration issues that your internal team cannot resolve within the required timeline. Without external engineering support, the likely outcome is a 3-6 month schedule slip, increased internal engineering burden, and risk of delivering a product that requires costly post-launch remediation.
Cost of inaction: Every month of delay costs the project in lost market timing, continued internal resource allocation, and competitive exposure. This engagement compresses timeline by bringing domain-specific expertise that would take 3-6 months to recruit internally.
2. Comparable Client Outcomes
STM32-based controller with CAN bus communication, multi-sensor fusion, safety interlocks, and touchscreen HMI. Firmware audit, bug remediation, and verification testing delivered on schedule.
Optical sensing device with BLE connectivity and IEC 60601-1 compliance architecture. Full SOW with 3-phase board strategy delivered within 2 weeks of initial conversation.
System architecture, power electronics, embedded firmware, and prototype development for a solar-powered safety device with integrated STEM education curriculum.
3. Downside Protection
This engagement is structured to minimize risk at every stage:
- Milestone-based payments — No payment advances beyond completed work. 40/30/30 structure tied to specific, named deliverables.
- Knowledge Transfer Guarantee — Every engagement includes a design history file, annotated deliverables, and a handoff session. Your team owns everything, documented.
- Single point of accountability — Peter Sords personally reviews every deliverable. One phone number. One person responsible.
- Off-ramp at any milestone — If the engagement isn't delivering value, either party can pause at any milestone checkpoint with no penalty.
4. Proposed Engagement
Next Step
A 30-minute scoping call to confirm requirements, define deliverables, and align on milestone structure. No commitment required — the call itself is a free consultation.
