Our technical delivery methodology applied across both consulting offers. All clients receive a pillar-based approach—emphasis varies by engagement type.
Core Technical Capabilities
Technologies we've used in production chip-to-cloud deployments—validated through real-world implementations, not aspirational lists
Embedded Systems
NXP i.MX RT Secure MCU
Secure embedded systems consulting with HAB (High Assurance Boot), hardware root-of-trust, verified boot chain, and CRA-aligned security architecture.
ARM Cortex-M/A Platforms
Architecture consulting for ARM-based embedded systems—RTOS integration (FreeRTOS, Zephyr), power optimization, and secure firmware development.
Connectivity
Cellular IoT Integration
LTE-M, NB-IoT, and 4G/5G connectivity consulting—carrier certification support, power optimization, and network protocol implementation.
UWB Positioning Systems
Ultra-wideband integration consulting for precise indoor/outdoor positioning (±10 cm accuracy) and secure ranging for asset tracking applications.
BLE, Wi-Fi, LoRaWAN
Short-range and LPWAN connectivity architecture—protocol selection, network topology design, and gateway integration.
Cloud Platforms
AWS IoT Core Architecture
Device provisioning with AWS IoT Core thing registry, device shadows, and rules engine—zero-touch onboarding and secure credential management.
OVHcloud EU Infrastructure
EU data residency consulting for GDPR-aligned architectures—cost-effective European cloud connectivity for device fleets requiring data sovereignty.
Vendor Lock-In Mitigation
Architecture patterns preventing cloud lock-in—abstraction layers enabling migration flexibility as business needs evolve.
Validation Before Production
We validate critical architectures with proof-of-concept testing on development hardware before recommending production deployment—catching integration conflicts in controlled environments, not during customer pilots.
This reduces integration risk without requiring elaborate lab infrastructure— focusing validation efforts on the specific technical decisions affecting your project.
Production-Ready Deliverables
Every consulting engagement delivers production-ready documentation eliminating integration ambiguity—developed through founder-led strategic advisory process
Three-Phase Consulting Methodology
Structured engagement process from strategic assessment to production deployment
Discovery Phase
4-6 weeks • Strategic validation
What Happens:
Comprehensive assessment of your current state, technical requirements, and compliance needs— answering the critical question: "Should we build this, and if yes, how?" This phase delivers the blueprint and business case needed to secure executive approval and budget.
- Chip-to-cloud readiness assessment evaluating current architecture gaps
- CRA compliance gap analysis with 12-24 month remediation roadmap
- Architecture blueprint with technology selection rationale
- Business case with ROI projections, cost analysis, and risk assessment
- Implementation roadmap with phase priorities and resource requirements
Quality Gate: Go/No-Go Decision
Executive sign-off on architecture blueprint, CRA compliance roadmap, and business case— providing clear go/no-go decision point before committing to full implementation. Many clients stop here with validated blueprint for internal development.
Build Phase
12-20 weeks • Agile implementation
What Happens:
Hands-on development of critical system components your team can't build alone—reference firmware, cloud integrations, security implementations. Delivered in 2-week sprints with working demos ensuring alignment and reducing late-stage surprises.
- Bi-weekly sprint demos with working code, not PowerPoint slides
- Critical module development (device firmware, connectivity, cloud integration)
- Continuous integration setup with automated testing and quality checks
- Operations Playbooks documenting deployment and incident response procedures
- Security Framework with compliance mapping and audit-ready documentation
Quality Gate: Implementation Verification
Functional demos validated against blueprint specifications, test coverage exceeding 80%, security verification completed, integration testing passed. Ensures what we built actually works before moving to production pilots—catching issues in controlled environment.
Pilot-to-Scale Phase
8-12 weeks • Production validation
What Happens:
Real-world pilot deployment with actual devices, users, and operational conditions— validating the system performs as designed and your team can operate it independently. Ends with complete handoff enabling confident scaling to thousands of devices.
- Pilot deployment with 10-100 devices in real operational environment
- Performance verification: latency, throughput, reliability metrics validated
- Operational validation: Your team runs daily operations with our support
- Complete documentation handoff: Architecture, Operations, Security frameworks
- Team training on operations, troubleshooting, and incident response
Quality Gate: Production Readiness
Pilot success metrics achieved (uptime >99%, performance within targets), operations runbooks validated through real incidents, acceptance criteria met, your team operating independently. Sign-off confirms you're ready to scale to full production without ongoing consultant dependency.
Founder-Led Throughout
Unlike large consultancies where partners sell then disappear, both Edge Pulsar founders remain accountable from initial consultation through final handoff—no bait-and-switch with junior staff.
❌Traditional Consulting Model
Sales Phase
Senior partner presents, promises their involvement
Delivery Phase
Junior consultants (1-3 years exp) do actual work, partners vanish
Issue Resolution
Juniors escalate, slow response, learning on your project
Result
Paying partner rates for junior delivery, generic PowerPoint solutions
✅Edge Pulsar Founder Model
Initial Consultation
Both founders on discovery call, technical assessment begins immediately
Delivery Phase
Founders architect and lead; specialists code under daily founder oversight
Issue Resolution
Direct founder access via Slack/email, same-day response on critical issues
Result
25+ years expertise on every decision, working code with audit-ready docs
Founder Accountability Guarantees
Same Founders, Start to Finish
Both founders named in contract, attend all strategic meetings, maintain client relationship throughout engagement—no staff rotation
Direct Communication Channel
Founders accessible via Slack/email for technical decisions—no filtering through account managers or junior consultants
Code Review by Founders
When implementation specialists contribute, every critical module reviewed and approved by founders—quality gated by 25+ year veterans
Post-Engagement Advisory
After handoff, founders remain available for architectural questions and escalations— no abrupt consultant departure
