Research leadership on a monthly retainer: specification reviews, a verdict gate on every major step, execution of the analysis pipeline, and decisions documented as you go.
Every technical specification, test plan and model reviewed before it is built or run.
Major steps are approved or sent back in writing, with the reason. The decisions log is yours.
Literature, calculations, simulations and data analysis run by my agents and verified by me, delivered with the scripts.
One call a week with your team; a written status each month that a board or an investor can read.
Simulation licences, cloud compute and specialist sub-tasks are passed through at cost, with your approval first.
Technical sections, work packages and feasibility arguments for research and innovation funding applications, with the science checked by someone who has done the research. For programmes that interview applicants on the technology, such as the EIC Accelerator, I prepare the team for the technology expert's questions. I do not write the business sections, and I do not evaluate for programmes I prepare applicants for.
Courses built around a team's exact instruments, devices and questions, delivered on site or remotely. The most recent example is a five-day Keysight B1500A and EasyEXPERT course for a university measurement team in Kuwait, built around their own analyzer and their diodes, bipolar transistors and MOSFETs.
Delivered Tailored training is available as an add-on.
Delivered Client available as a reference on request.
The base retainer is the equivalent of one day a week, spread as the work needs it. Two days a week is the next tier. Hours are logged and reported monthly.
I lead the research questions, review specifications and gate decisions. Line management, hiring and the shipping of a software product belong to a CTO, and I say so if that is what you need.
Because the value of the retainer is that a physicist, not a queue, is looking at your problem. Two is the number at which every client still gets that.
Yes, as an add-on priced per funding call: technical sections, work packages, feasibility arguments and the preparation of the technical interview where the programme has one. I do not write the business sections, and I do not act as an evaluator for programmes I prepare applicants for.
Send a short description of the technology and the decision it informs. I reply personally, usually within one working day, and a first call is twenty minutes with no commitment on either side.
