Engineering consulting

Engineering consulting for product strategy and feasibility

Define what your product needs to do, assess whether it is technically feasible and choose an approach before committing to development.

Alcodex provides product strategy, feasibility and technical advisory. When you need engineering delivery, our sister concern Infolitz provides ER&D and product engineering services.

Scope of advisory

Turn an open question into a development plan

The work is scoped around your product, technical constraints and the decision you need to make.

Product strategy

Translate the intended use and business requirements into product priorities, capabilities and a clear development brief.

Possible outputs: requirements brief, prioritized capabilities and product roadmap.

Technical feasibility

Assess the technical assumptions, dependencies and constraints that could affect the proposed product.

Possible outputs: feasibility assessment, key risks and recommendations for further validation.

Technical advisory

Compare technology and architecture options against the required functionality, integration needs and operating environment.

Possible outputs: options comparison, technical recommendations and engineering handover brief.

Deliverables depend on the agreed scope. Any prototype, detailed design or development work is scoped separately with the engineering delivery team.

How an engagement works

Start with the decision and agree the next steps

  1. Define the question

    Review the concept, intended users, current information and constraints. Agree the advisory scope and deliverables.

  2. Assess the options

    Examine requirements and technical approaches. Identify assumptions, tradeoffs and areas that need validation.

  3. Plan the next stage

    Document recommendations and priorities so you can decide how to proceed with development or further investigation.

From feasibility to market access

Bring in the support your product needs

You can start with advisory, engineering delivery or market entry support. You do not need to engage every part of the portfolio.
