Do you have security clearance capabilities?
Yes, our principal engineer maintains an active security clearance.

What are your typical project rates, hourly fees, or engagement models?
Pricing reflects the comprehensive value provided. Rather than a standard loaded rate, pricing is based on project complexity, strategic impact, and client objectives. This ensures you receive maximum value while maintaining cost-effectiveness. The most appropriate engagement structure highly depends on the specificity of the technical challenge.

How much do third-party licenses typically cost?
Across the industry, deployment costs per instance typically range from $10,000 - $60,000 depending on the specific applications.

Can I really deploy unlimited times with no additional fees?
Upon intellectual property delivery, the codebase and accompanying source files are yours - you can deploy limitlessly.

What are typical project durations and delivery timelines?
Project timelines vary significantly based on scope, complexity, and specific requirements. For aerospace simulation and flight dynamics work, engagements typically range from rapid modifications (2-6 months) to comprehensive new system development (12-24+ months). Each project timeline is developed through detailed analysis of technical requirements, regulatory considerations, and integration complexity. During initial consultations, a customized timeline with appropriate contingencies is provided based on your specific objectives and constraints.

Can you provide examples of past clients or case studies?
We supported major U.S. defense agencies and contractors.

Do you work with international clients or only domestic?
There are no restrictions on client locations. Engagements are supported globally with remote collaboration tools enabling effective delivery for both U.S.-based and international organizations.

Team Size: Do you work as a sole consultant or have additional team members?
Currently, all consulting, engineering, and project management services are delivered personally by the principal consultant, ensuring direct expertise and accountability on every engagement. There are plans to expand the team in the future as the consultancy grows and project needs evolve. For larger or highly specialized projects, partnerships with trusted collaborators or subcontractors may be considered to ensure seamless delivery and maintain quality standards.

Are there project size limitations?
There are no minimum or maximum project size limitations. All engagements—whether small, focused technical tasks or large, multi-phase development programs—are supported with the same level of attention and professionalism.

How do you handle IP ownership and licensing?
We assume a Client-Centric Approach. Ownership and licensing of intellectual property (IP) are determined based on the specific needs and agreements of each engagement. The default stance is flexibility—solutions can be structured so that clients retain full ownership, receive broad usage rights, or license developed technologies as appropriate.

Do you work with subcontractors or partner firms?
Services are delivered directly by the principal consultant. For larger or highly specialized projects, partnerships with trusted subcontractors or partner firms may be arranged to ensure seamless delivery and maintain quality standards. All collaborations are transparent, and clients are informed of any additional resources involved.

Do you offer training or knowledge transfer services?
Yes, training and knowledge transfer are integral parts of engagements. Services include customized technical workshops, hands-on mentorship, and development of training materials to empower client teams. These can be delivered remotely or onsite, tailored to client needs and project requirements.

What ongoing support do you provide post-delivery?
Ongoing support includes technical assistance, software updates, documentation, and integration help to ensure long-term success of delivered solutions. Flexible support arrangements—ranging from standard post-delivery support to extended service agreements—are available to match client needs. Remote and onsite support can be provided as required, and additional training or knowledge transfer is offered to empower client teams.
