What Actually Determines Your Price
We don't price by the hour, and we don't price every product the same way. Here's what we look at before we give you a number.
Share your product
Chipset, materials, target market, and a rough sense of volume.
We map it against five factors
The same five, every time — not a different formula for every client.
You get one fixed number
A quote for the phase ahead, agreed before any work starts.
Product Complexity
Higher when — Multiple embedded systems — AI compute, sensors, and wireless — all need to work together as one product.
Lower when — A single, well-defined module close to an existing reference design.
Certification Scope
Higher when — Multiple markets, a children's product, or anything collecting voice or usage data.
Lower when — One market, a general consumer age group, no wireless or data component.
Material & Construction
Higher when — Soft materials — plush, fabric, silicone — combined with electronics.
Lower when — A standard hard-shell enclosure and conventional assembly.
Where You're Starting From
Higher when — Concept stage only, with design iteration still ahead.
Lower when — A working prototype already exists and is validated.
Production Volume
Higher when — Larger or recurring runs that need sustained quality oversight.
Lower when — A single small-batch production run.
Once we've weighed these against your product, you get one number — a fixed price for the phase ahead, not an estimate that grows as we go.
