FAQ

Common questions about scope, timelines, and deliverables.

Fast answers • clear expectations
What information should I provide to start?

Provide photos, failure history, operating conditions, drawings/specs (if available), and any known material/processing details. If samples can be shipped, include labeling and chain-of-custody notes.

Do you perform lab testing in-house?

This page is designed for consulting + lab coordination. If you have a preferred lab, we can work with them; otherwise, we can coordinate testing with appropriate facilities depending on method and turnaround requirements.

How long does a typical failure analysis take?

Rapid triage can be 24–72 hours depending on available evidence. Full investigations vary with testing needs, sample availability, and documentation requirements.

Can you provide executive-ready reporting?

Yes. Deliverables can include an executive summary, technical appendix, and actionable recommendations aligned to quality systems and CAPA workflows.

Operational Notes

Helpful guidance for smooth engagements and fast turnaround.

A
Sample handlingLabel samples clearly and record as-received condition. Avoid cleaning fracture surfaces.
B
DocumentationInclude drawings, specs, and process history when available—these accelerate root cause work.
C
OutcomesWe can tailor output for QA/CAPA, executive review, or supplier engagement.
Publish-ready edits you should make
1) Add your business email + phone. 2) Replace placeholders in “Example Work” and testimonials. 3) If you want the form to email you, connect it to a backend (PHP/Node) or a form provider.
