01 / Failure investigation
Why did it fail—and what does the evidence support?
Operating conditions, available evidence and plausible failure mechanisms are assessed. Hypotheses and corrective changes are compared without promising certainty the evidence cannot provide.
Intended outcome
An evidence-supported diagnosis, stated confidence and a practical corrective action or further investigation plan.
02 / Design optimisation
Make the next iteration count.
Compare geometry, concepts and key parameters before committing to tooling or prototypes. Quantify trade-offs in strength, stiffness, mass and manufacturability.
03 / Verification & performance
Know whether it will work—and why.
Define realistic load cases, assess response and margins, identify weak points, and explain the governing mechanical behaviour with assumptions and limits made clear.
