⚠ 3 engagements per quarter

Most teams find out what's wrong at the lab.
By then it costs €15–40K to fix and months of schedule.

A full review of your hardware design against your target certification standard. Every risk identified, every fix specified, written report in 10 business days. Before a single board goes to the lab.

From files received
What the audit covers

Four steps. Application to written fix plan.

Every engagement runs in the same order.

01
Kickoff call — 45 min
Before opening a file, you walk Dario through your product — architecture, target standard, certification deadline, and the specific concern. This shapes everything that follows.
02
Full design review — 10 business days
Layer stack, schematics, return current paths, power layout, noise sources, I/O strategy, board interactions. Every layer that affects electromagnetic compliance. Files shared under confidentiality terms.
03
Debrief call + written report — 60 min
Dario walks through every finding live with your team. Root cause explained, fix specified and tailored to your constraints in real time. The written report documents every finding with a prioritised action list your engineers can execute directly. You leave knowing exactly what to change and why.
04
30 days email support
While your team implements the changes. Questions answered, second opinions on specific decisions, confirmation that a proposed fix resolves the finding. Findings don't stop being useful when the call ends.
Up to 3 boards · up to 8 layers · Confidentiality terms on request  ·  Add-ons: extra board €1,350 · extra layer pair €700 · additional call €1,350 · faster delivery +35%
What you get

Every deliverable, written down.

No vague "recommendations" — specific findings with specific fixes, delivered in a format your engineers can act on directly.

Kickoff call — 45 min
Before a file is opened. You walk Dario through your product, target standard, certification deadline, and the specific concern. This shapes every decision in the review.
Full design review — 10 business days
Layer stack, schematics, return current paths, power layout, noise sources, I/O strategy — every layer of your design that affects electromagnetic compliance.
Prioritised findings report
Every risk ranked by severity. Root cause explained. Specific written fix for each finding, written for your exact project — not generic guidance.
Debrief call — 60 min
Dario walks through every finding live with your team. Root cause explained. Fixes customised to your real constraints in real time. You leave knowing exactly what to change and why.
What the review covers
Every layer that affects electromagnetic compliance
Schematic Review
Component selection, filter topology, power distribution architecture, decoupling strategy, and EMC-critical placement decisions.
PCB Layout Analysis
Signal routing for EMI, component placement relative to noise sources, copper fill strategy, and layer stack interactions.
Stackup Review
Layer ordering, dielectric thickness, reference plane continuity, impedance control, and how your stackup supports your EMC strategy.
Return Path Analysis
Return current flow for every signal type, ground plane splits, layer transitions, slot analysis, and antenna-like structures.
I/O & Interface Strategy
Connector placement, filtering at interfaces, cable exit strategy, shield termination, common-mode rejection across all external interfaces.
30 Days Email Support
