Start with a 30-minute call

No charge, no obligation. I’ll tell you which review fits, what it costs, and whether it’s worth buying at all.

01   WHAT HAPPENS ON THE CALL

I’ll ask what you’re building and how big, what stage it’s at, what you’re worried about, and what decision this feeds. 30 minutes is enough.

Worth having whoever owns the release decision on the call as well if they can spare the time. Most of what I need to establish is about what you’re committing to and when, and that’s usually their call.

02   SEND THE DETAILS

Sheet count, layer count, lines of RTL, requirement count. Whatever applies. A number here saves a whole email.

What are you actually worried about?

Tick anything that applies. This shapes the first call and commits you to nothing.

If what you actually need is signal integrity analysis, precision analog or RF, EMC, or detailed thermal work, say so here. Those are specialist jobs I don’t take on, and I can usually point you at someone who does.

I reply to everything, usually within one working day. Nothing here is stored or shared beyond what I need to reply, and there are no cookies or trackers on this site.

03   OR DIRECTLY

Before you send a design package

Don’t attach design files to a first email. They travel as ordinary email and sit on servers outside our control.

A mutual NDA is standard, and we’ll agree a transfer method that suits your security requirements. Then I’ll send you a specific list of what I need, by a route where nothing in the middle can read it.

If any part of the design is export-controlled or classified, say so before anything is shared. I’m not currently set up to handle controlled material.

  • Email loading I usually reply within one working day. Please don’t attach design files. There is nothing to send yet, and ordinary email is the wrong route for it.
  • OpenPGP key consultana.asc Fingerprint C832 139A 342F A1D4 007C 314B 2C81 0B01 4D44 5C99. Check it against the one I read out on the call rather than trusting this page.
  • LinkedIn Profile Worth a look before you email, if you want to check who you’d be dealing with
  • Based in Oxfordshire, United Kingdom Reviews are done remotely. Happy to attend a design review in person where it’s worth the day.
