01 / APPROACH
Start with the engineering brief
Define system interfaces, available space, materials and performance requirements. For EV programmes, establish Battery Thermal Management Systems requirements early. For aerospace and defence, identify Thermal Management Systems or ECS scope and programme-specific documentation expectations.
02 / APPROACH
Review feasibility and development stages
Discuss design-for-manufacture, tooling, prototypes, sample approval and inspection plans. Development timing and production readiness depend on the technical review and agreed investment responsibilities.
03 / APPROACH
Set governance before scale-up
Agree intellectual property arrangements, confidentiality, design changes and quality responsibilities. Any manufacturing agreement or programme commitment is subject to technical and commercial approval.
