Frequently ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)

Dreadnought's value proposition is comprehensive engineering expertise coupled with the latest data science methodologies, whereas other firms offer much of one or the other.  This enables us to thoroughly understand your challenge, and rapidly work towards a solution.

We specialize in solutions, as our namesake suggests - we solve for X.   We have successfully worked on multiple technologies across many industries, granting us a significant advantage at the onset of any project.  Once we fully understand your problem statement, we will selectively leverage our extensive knowledge and abilities to generate one or more solutions.  

A wide variety!  Mathematics is the common currency across engineering and data science.  Some solutions we have generated only utilized elementary probability and statistics.  Others  have called for diagnostic, descriptive, prescriptive analytics or a combination thereof.  Six Sigma Black Belt methodologies and SPC are deployed often in product development and manufacturing challenges.  Our scope of coverage continues to expand with IoT, predictive analytics, machine learning, and other branches of AI. 

Too many to list.  We have worked in the mechanical, electrical, optical, material computing and even chemical domains to address challenges in touch display optics, sensor and mechanism development, solid oral medication dispensing, power conditioning, robot end effectors, metrology...the list goes on.    

Of course!  Witnessing challenges hands-on is oftentimes the best approach to understanding them.  

Initial consultations are always free.  We typically operate on a billable hours basis, or on a project basis.  Many clients prefer keeping Dreadnought on retainer, with the flexibility to contact us anytime and start work immediately.  Retained clients have the added benefit of being prioritized in our work queue, receive preferred client billing rates, and their retainer hours are secured on date of receipt.

Our client relationships are extremely important to us.  We recognize and appreciate the trust you place in us to deliver solutions.  We operate with transparency, keep you up to date on progress, and always consider your best interests in our every action.  That's why we require your authorization prior to any billing activities, each and every time.
