Case Studies

Real projects, kept anonymous.

Every record on this page is written from one real project: the requirement we received, the work it took and the result that can be verified. Buyers stay anonymous by default, so a record describes the type of company and the market it sells into rather than naming it.

Anonymous by default

A record names the client only after the client has authorized it.

Client names, brand logos and testimonials appear on this website only with the client's written authorization. Until then a record describes the type of company, the market it sells into and the level of customization the project reached — never a name, a logo or a detail that identifies the buyer.

Every published record is based on a real project and meets at least two of the three kinds of evidence below. A project that cannot be shown this way is not published, not indexed and not written up as a marketing story.

  • Real photographs of the samples, the production run, the testing, the packing or the delivery, taken on that project.
  • Verifiable numbers such as the order quantity or range, the development time, the number of sample rounds and the delivery result.
  • The record behind the work: the product and application the project belongs to, and the drawing or document that records what was changed for that buyer.

01 — Published records

Real projects,
read through requirement, work and result.

A record states what the buyer needed, what stayed standard in the range and what had to change, and what the delivery actually was. Only projects that can be shown are published here, so this page grows slowly by design.

No published record carries this customization level yet.

This filter only lists levels that carry a published record, so an empty result means the last record at this level has been withdrawn or is still in review. Every published record can be read without the filter, or the requirement can be sent directly and we answer with what fits it.

02 — How a record is written

The requirement,
the work, the result.

Every record follows the same parts, so two projects can be compared on the same facts instead of on adjectives. Each part is filled from the project file, and a part with nothing behind it is left out rather than written around.

Part 1

The requirement

Who the buyer is in general terms, the market the goods are sold into, the level of customization the project needed, and the products and applications the record belongs to.

Part 2

The key difficulty

The part that was not routine: the fitting, dimension, light output, mounting condition or market requirement the standard model did not meet on its own.

Part 3

Selection and modification

The model the project started from, what stayed standard, and what was changed for this buyer — and why that was the shortest route to what they needed.

Part 4

Engineering and sampling

The drawing, fixture or tooling work the change required, and the sample rounds it took to reach a sample the buyer could sign off.

Part 5

Quality requirements

The checks agreed for that order, and the finish, packing or labelling requirements that had to be met before the run was released.

Part 6

Production and delivery

How the order was produced, packed and shipped, and what the delivery actually was against the date that was agreed.

The result — recorded only when the project holds the evidence

A record carries a figure only when the project file supports it. These are the results a record can state, and not every project reaches all of them.

  • Order quantity or range

    The quantity ordered, or the range the buyer works in, when that is what the project file holds.

  • Development time

    The time from the first technical review of the requirement to the sample the buyer approved.

  • Sample rounds

    How many rounds of samples it took before the buyer signed the sample off.

  • On-time delivery

    Whether the delivery met the date agreed for that order — stated as it happened, not as a general delivery promise.

  • Repeat order

    Whether the same buyer ordered again after the first delivery.

A record states a result because the project file shows it, not because it sounds good: nothing here is an estimate, and no record promises that another project would reach the same quantity, timing or compliance outcome. Schedules, quantities, packing and any compliance question are confirmed per project and per model by email.

03 — What a record does not claim

Anonymous by default,
no promise without evidence.

A record shows what one project was. It does not claim what a different project would reach.

Names and logos stay out

Client names, brand logos and identifying details are published only with written authorization. Where a client is described, it is described by the type of company and the market it serves.

No unverified result

Quantities, timings and outcomes appear as the project recorded them, and no record promises that another project would reach the same numbers, lead time or compliance outcome. Certification for a model and a market is confirmed by email, per model and per market.

No borrowed evidence

The photographs behind a record are taken on that project. Illustrations, renders and photographs from another order are never presented as the evidence for a record shown here.

Customization level

A record names one level: the highest the project reached, so a standard order is never written up as a development project. The levels we work at are:

  • Standard Product
  • Private Label Customization
  • Minor Modification
  • Full Custom Development

How far a change can go is answered after a technical review, per model and per project.
