            <description>5%5 Net 30 Weekly Billing


We will invoice you every week. A 5% discount is given for payment received within 5 business days of the billing date.

Late Payments:

While this is an area that we wish we did not need to address, it is an unfortunate fact of life that sometimes circumstances cause us to not be paid timely. Therefore, all payments received beyond 30 days after invoice are subject to a 2% late payment penalty. In addition, all project work will cease when a payment has not been reci…</description>

You must have a solid business and marketing plan, and this does not mean something cranked out with Businessplan Pro over a weekend. Your executive summary must be submitted with the RFP. I do not sign NDA’s in order to read executive summaries. In the event, that your executive summary looks good, I will sign an NDA prior to receiving the full business and marketing plan, including the prior art report.</description>

            <description>Thanks for considering Ronald H Amundson &amp; Associates for your product development needs.

1. The first thing to consider is whether you need a non-disclosure agreement. You may freely download this NDA, make 2 copies, sign it, and send it to me. I will sign both copies, and return one of them to you.</description>

            <description>A PRD(products requirement definition) is often times one of keys to success or a substaintial reason for failure. In too many cases, a PRD is viewed as unecessary, too expensive, and too time consuming. Many people want to jump right in and start designing. In other cases, the PRD is locked in stone, and is never tested or questioned as a project progresses. Some of the time, it is imperative to go back and rewrite the PRD, as more market data, or testing shows the path chosen turned out to be …</description>

We have access to labs all across the US, with a multitude of specialities ranging from product safety, environmental, FCC, and EMC testing. Our experience has been that even Alpha prototypes should go th…</description>

            <description>Research for hire is paper based research to determine if a more extensive feasibility study is necessary. A great deal of research can be done with paid databases, library facilities, and mathematical modeling. The internet while vast is used as well, but more focused results can be obtained from commercial databases and libraries. Our background in corporate R-D environments has proven time and time again, that preliminary paper based research is the most cost effective way of selecting a new …</description>

            <description>As a result of the feasibility studies, and the PRD, a design specification is created. The best way to contrast a PRD and a design specification is through examples. A PRD would suggest the product is to have a red plastic enclosure. A specification would call out a specific color, such as Pantone Red 032, and a material specification of polycarbonate, and may also include a specific manufacturers part number for the polycarbonate raw material. Now, to some, such detail may seem like overkill, …</description>

Why open source?

Customization


How many times have you run into a product thats 90% there. It may be an environmental chamber, a piece of test gear, or even a production tool. That remaining 10% can be a real annoyance at times. With open source, customers can have a product modified to get that last 10% solved... with closed source, often times pretty wierd hacks can occur at times. I've seen production equipment hacked to death at times in order to make it do something…</description>

            <description>Our unique approach to subcontractor services and billing


Many turn key firms handle all billing for their subcontractors, and in doing so, generate significant profits, and in our opinion, add little value. The average adder for this service ranges from 40-60% of the total bill for subcontracting services. The value of course, is you pay with one check, and the turn key firm is ultimately responsible for their subcontractors performance or lack there of. In most cases though, when a subcontra…</description>
