The people testing it have carried this kind of kit under fire. Controlled and simulated conditions, in the EU.
Expect to hear the harsh truth.
Friends, advisors and investors want you to succeed. Operators want the kit to work. Those are different things, and only one of them shows up in the report.
30 min. What you built, what you need to learn.
Scenarios and success criteria. You approve before we run.
Operators use it. Controlled and simulated conditions. Filmed.
Findings, failure modes, then a call with the operators themselves.
Findings, failure modes and direct operator quotes, written so you can hand it to your engineers or your board without translating it first.
You watch the kit being used rather than reading a summary of it. The moment something fails is usually the moment you needed to see.
You ask them directly, and they answer directly. In practice this is where most of the value lands.
The final number depends on the system and on how much time it needs in the field. One price, no tiers. We quote you after the intake call.
By operators we mean the people who would actually carry this: infantry, UAS crews, EOD, medics, signals. Not only special forces.
Served, or serving in the reserve? Test the kit before it reaches your people.
Writes the test plans and the reports. Your contact from the intake call through to the debrief.
Brings the operators together and runs the sessions in the field.
We keep full names and operator identities off the public web.
Many of the people who test for us still serve. Ask us on a call and we will tell you exactly who you are dealing with.
Anything missing, ask on the intake call. It is what the call is for.
Not yet. We are booking the first evaluations now and we will tell you honestly where you sit in the queue. If you would rather wait until we have a few sessions behind us, say so and we will come back to you when we do.
No. Nobody takes your prototype to a war. Testing happens in the EU, on ranges and training areas and in simulated conditions, run by people who have been in the real thing and know what it asks of equipment.
Former and reserve personnel from EU and NATO forces: infantry, UAS crews, EOD, medics, signals. We describe capability and domain, never unit. Names and identities stay off the public web.
In the EU. The exact site depends on what you are testing. An open range for anything that flies, an urban training area for comms and ground robotics, indoors for optics and software.
Yes, we sign yours before the intake call if you want one, and every operator on the session signs one too. Nothing from a session is published. The report and the footage go to you and stay with you.
Probably not. If it can be switched on and handled, operators can tell you something useful about it. The earlier you hear it, the cheaper it is to act on.
Yes, and most founders do. You can watch and take notes. You do not brief the operators or fix anything mid-session, because that is exactly the reflex you are paying us to remove.
A written report with findings, failure modes and operator quotes, video from the session, and a debrief call with the operators present.
One prototype, one paragraph of context. We come back with what we would put it through, what it would cost and when we could run it.
