The method · Problem framing

Framing the problem at its physical root.

Before designing any solution, we truly understand the phenomenon. Most industrial projects fail because they tackle the symptom instead of the cause: we start from the physics of the problem, not from the product spec.

What we do

A technical-scientific audit, not a quote

We turn a vague request ("it doesn't work", "scrap too high", "we can't measure it") into a problem defined in physical, quantitative terms. We separate cause from effect and focus on the quantities that really matter.

  • Listening to the real problem and the process context
  • Identifying the physical root (heat, radiation, fluid dynamics, materials, particulates…)
  • Defining measurable quantities and quantitative objectives
  • Analysis of physical, process, regulatory and economic constraints

Our approach

The rigor of major research, applied to industry

Our expertise was born in the labs of frontier scientific research — nuclear, particle physics, materials science. From there we bring a precise method.

First principles

We start from fundamental physical laws and orders of magnitude, not from analogies or solutions "seen elsewhere".

Falsifiable hypotheses

We formulate hypotheses that can be confirmed or refuted by a measurement. No claims that can't be put to the test.

State of the art

We map scientific literature and patents to know what is already known, what is truly new and where we can innovate.

What you get

A solid basis for decisions

Defined problem

A description of the problem in physical, measurable terms — shared and clear.

Success criteria

Quantitative, measurable objectives: you know in advance what "solved" means.

Initial feasibility

An honest assessment of what's possible, with the main technological risks already identified.

The method steps

Got a problem to frame?

We start with the audit: together we understand the physical root and tell you, with evidence, whether we can turn it into technology.
