Fixed packages with a clear result
Not every project needs a long engagement. For the questions that most often come up before a decision, there are fixed packages: a clearly defined sequence and a written result.
Raw material check
For whom: manufacturers and start-ups deciding which raw material to work with.
- Preliminary conversation: product goal, constraints, volumes
- Review of existing documents, specifications and samples
- Assessment of protein content, functionality and sensory properties in the target product
- Cost effect in the recipe compared with alternatives
- Written recommendation with reasoning
Result: a clear statement on whether the raw material holds up, plus two or three alternatives with an assessment.
Side stream check
For whom: operations where a side stream currently leaves at feed price or causes disposal cost.
- Recording of volume, composition and current destination
- Review of possible upgrading steps and their cost
- Comparison with real buyer markets and achievable prices
- Effect on the calculation of the main fraction
- Recommendation with priorities
Result: a reliable statement on whether upgrading pays off, and by which route.
Quotation check
For whom: companies holding a quotation from an equipment supplier and about to sign.
- Preliminary conversation: target product, throughput, site conditions
- Review of design, yield assumptions and throughput promises
- Comparison with standard market concepts and alternative suppliers
- Identification of gaps, follow-on costs and open interfaces
- A list of questions you can put straight to the supplier
Result: a written assessment of the quotation plus a list of questions for the negotiation.
Scale-up check
For whom: ventures where the lab sample works and the plant is not there yet.
- Recording of the current status: process, results, assumptions
- Review of the process route for industrial suitability
- Mass balance and yields, including all side streams
- Framework for investment and operating costs
- A prioritised roadmap with the next three steps
Result: a feasibility assessment and a roadmap that addresses the largest risks first.
Market check for technology providers
For whom: equipment suppliers and technology providers examining a new application field before committing sales resources.
- Narrowing down target segments and relevant applications
- Assessment of market size, competition and customer requirements
- Matching your own technology against the actual customer benefit
- Assessment of the realistic effort for market entry
- Recommendation with segment priorities
