EnCata provides feasibility analysis consulting to avoid project difficulties in the future
It is important to have a full understanding of how a certain feature or design solution will affect the product competitiveness. Testing by real users is the best way to find the answers. Hardware products have a long time-to-market cycle. For this reason, it is difficult to understand how the first version of your product should look like, how the selected technologies will affect the development and manufacturing costs of this first batch. Technical analysis at the beginning helps to build the product roadmap, but it does not cancel out communication with end users, analysis of competitors, or building business models.
For a product team, the simplest and most valuable result after the technical feasibility study consulting can be the list of components, their costs and time of delivery. When we create a device concept, we tie together all the features, requirements and business limitations of the new product. This allows us to formulate top-level requirements for standard components: motors, batteries, piping, screens, communication modules. Sometimes, it may turn out that a very powerful and expensive motor must be used to achieve the desired speed, or that it takes a lot of energy to transmit data over the desired distance. This can make the battery heavy and expensive. The project team can then start adjusting their expectations from the product or business strategy. The team will be provided with the valuable data even before the design stage or prototyping.
