Questions worth answering before a hardware POC.
The point of a ProtoKicker engagement is clarity about feasibility, boundaries, IP, validation and what it takes to go further.
Are you a module seller?
<p>No. We can use existing boards and modules where suitable, but our service is the integrated prototype, validation evidence and production-readiness path.</p>
Who is this for?
<p>AI hardware teams, product leads and innovation teams that need to test technical feasibility before committing to full engineering or production.</p>
Do you publish standard pricing?
<p>No. B2B hardware POC scope depends on technical risk, deliverables, prototype quantity, files provided, validation depth and production intent. We standardize the process, not the final price.</p>
What is included in a feasibility review?
<p>A technical route, risk map, rough BOM direction, prototype scope, acceptance criteria and SOW recommendation.</p>
Can we sign an NDA first?
<p>Yes. NDA can come before detailed technical file exchange. IP ownership and file deliverables are defined in the SOW.</p>
Can you support after the POC?
<p>Yes. A validated POC can move into engineering prototype, EVT, pilot planning and manufacturing handoff.</p>
