Advisory
Advisory work is independent and non-operational, performed in a personal capacity subject to applicable institutional policies. Confidentiality is respected in all engagements.
Background
I have spent much of my career evaluating the work of others – research proposals, researchers, laboratories, and private-sector R&D. This is the same skillset that due diligence requires: reading technical claims critically, gauging feasibility, and forming an independent judgement. Concrete credentials are listed on the home page.
How an Engagement Works
A typical engagement proceeds as follows:
- Initial contact. You reach out by email or through an expert network. If needed, we sign a mutual NDA before any substantive discussion.
- Scoping call. A short call to understand the question – what technology is being evaluated, what decision it feeds into, and what level of depth is needed.
- Deliverable. Depending on the scope, this can range from a single expert call to a written technical assessment memorandum, or an ongoing advisory relationship.
