How it works

Four steps, and you see the price before any of them costs you anything.

  1. Submit. Describe the challenge in your own words. Attach diagrams or link a block diagram from the platform for visual context.
  2. Quote. An engineer scopes the question and you receive a written quotation with the price and a delivery estimate. Nothing is charged yet.
  3. Accept. Review the quotation and accept it. Payment is taken securely through Stripe only at this point.
  4. Solve it. You receive a written answer, and one free follow-up clarification within five working days.

Reasoning tied to the relevant part and clause of ISO 26262, the assumptions the engineer made, and where a judgement call remains yours. Access to your question, materials and answer is restricted under our privacy terms and any agreed NDA.

How is a consultation priced?

Every consultation is priced individually. You describe the question, we scope it, and you receive a written quotation with the price and a delivery estimate before anything is charged.

A subscription does not include consultations and does not automatically discount them; where we do apply a discount, it is granted on a specific quotation and you will see it on the quotation itself.
