Engineering Reviews, Priced Per Project
Three tiers. Real engineers. AI-assisted prep. No subscription. Pick the one that matches how serious you are about your idea.
Start free — pay only for a review
Creating an account, tracking your ideas, organizing notes, and storing documents are all free. The pricing below is only for an engineering review, which you add when you’re ready for an expert opinion.
Track your ideas
Capture every invention in one place and keep them organized as they evolve — from a one-line spark to a fully described concept.
Organize your notes
Keep research, observations, links, and to-dos attached to the right idea. Free, unlimited, and searchable across every project.
Store sketches & docs
Upload images, drawings, patents, and product photos. Everything lives with your idea and strengthens your review when you submit.
Free to use · No credit card required

Frequently Asked
How is this different from a generic AI analysis tool?
Every review is delivered by a real design engineer who runs the AI as prep, not as the product. You get an opinion you can argue with, on a video call, from someone who has built physical products. The AI does the legwork; the engineer does the thinking.
When do I get to talk to a real engineer?
After payment we'll email you to schedule the call within one business day. Most calls happen within 3 to 5 business days of booking — sometimes sooner.
What does the AI actually do?
It scans your idea across feasibility, market, competitive landscape, and IP/patent dimensions before the engineer sees it. This means your engineer arrives prepared — they read the AI summary, validate or push back on its conclusions, and use the call to dig into what actually matters.
Which tier should I pick?
If you have a concept and want a sanity check, start with Feasibility ($199). If you have a working prototype or are about to invest serious money, go Full Assessment ($699). Engineering Engagement is for inventors who already have a validated concept and need ongoing CAD, prototyping, or sourcing help.
What happens if the engineer says my idea has problems?
That's the value. A blunt, honest engineering opinion is what most inventors are missing. We'll tell you exactly what's working, what's broken, and what (if anything) we'd change. You decide what to do with that information.
Can I refund if the review doesn't happen?
Yes. If we don't deliver the review or you cancel before the call, you get a full refund — no questions asked. After the review is delivered, refunds are case-by-case.
What payment methods do you accept?
All major credit cards via Stripe. Transactions are encrypted and PCI-compliant. Engineering Engagement clients can request invoiced billing.
Is my idea confidential?
Yes. All submissions are confidential by default. For Engineering Engagements involving more sensitive work, we can sign a standard NDA before kickoff — just ask.
