Case studies
How the hard problems were solved.
Longer than the work page. Each study follows the same five parts, so you can see the reasoning rather than only the result.

Case study 01Healthcare & medical technology
A lab prototype that had to become a manufacturable instrument.
The science worked. The instrument around it could not be built twice the same way, serviced in the field, or documented well enough to be used clinically. We rebuilt the architecture without restarting the product.
RESULT
A product ready to move into controlled production.

Case study 02Robotics & intelligent machines
Three subsystems that never agreed on what the machine was doing.
Perception, motion control and safety had been developed by different people at different times. Each was defensible on its own. Together they produced behaviour nobody could predict.
RESULT
Predictable behaviour, including at the edges.

Case study 03IoT & connected products
One device worked. A thousand of them did not.
Every unit shipped needed a person to configure it, and any fix meant a site visit. The product was fine; the way it was deployed and maintained was the problem.
RESULT
A fleet that can be updated and supported remotely.
