How We Work
“Thorough work, clearly documented.”
- Intro call (free, 30 min): Confirm goals, constraints, available data, and which standard package fits.
- Scope confirmation (included): Within 2 business days, you receive a 1–2 page Scope Confirmation: deliverables, inputs required, assumptions/exclusions, timeline, fixed price, and change control.
- Kickoff (60 min): After acceptance, we run a technical kickoff to hand over data, confirm interfaces, and lock the delivery schedule.
- Delivery (phased): Work is delivered in short phases with a weekly written update: completed, next steps, questions, and risks.
- Review pack: You receive a draft pack for technical review (key results, assumptions, limitations, recommendations).
- Final handover: Final report + agreed source files, plus a handover call.
Scoping note: If your project cannot be defined in a single 30-minute call, we offer a fixed-fee Discovery phase (1–2 weeks) to produce a full Scope of Work and a firm quote.
FAQs
Why work with us
“Engineering support that reduces risk and removes bottlenecks”
CompositePals is brought in when a team needs reliable technical work delivered to a clear scope—especially when internal capacity is tight, a key person has left, or a project needs independent analysis and documentation to move forward.
- We can cover capability gaps quickly — short ramp time; we work with what you already have (CAD, test data, requirements) and produce defined outputs.
- Breadth of skills in one place — simulation/FEA, test planning and interpretation, data analysis/programming, mechanical/fixture design, and automation—fewer handovers and fewer gaps.
- Thorough and auditable outputs — assumptions stated, limitations explicit, decisions traceable; deliverables suitable for design review, customer reporting, or manufacturing handover.
- Organised delivery — clear scope, weekly written updates, and a review pack before final delivery so issues are caught early.
- Commercial clarity — fixed-scope packages where possible; otherwise a written scope with simple change control agreed in advance.
