Client-Side USV Representation

What gets done

• Capability assessment. Platform against mission requirement, honestly, including the conditions where the vessel stops working.
• Specification and requirement support on the buying side, so a tender asks for what you actually need rather than for what the last tender asked for.
• Supplier selection support and the operational questions that separate a good demonstration from a deliverable service.
• Design review from the operator's chair: maintainability, launch and recovery, watchkeeping, comms, and the things that only hurt after month three.
• Acceptance testing and commissioning witnessed on your behalf, against criteria written to protect you rather than to be passed.
• Operational cost and manning reality. What running it actually takes in people, shore support, spares and downtime, as opposed to what the brochure implies.
• Risk position for an investment, an acquisition or a contract award.
• Oversight through delivery, so the operation you were sold is the operation you receive.

What you get

A short, direct written assessment with the reasoning shown, and the questions you should be asking next. Findings are given straight, whichever way they point, which is the only reason to hire an outsider for this.

How it runs

Days for an assessment, or retained oversight across a procurement or a build. Usually under a confidentiality agreement.

Buyer-side and builder-side work is never taken on the same programme, and any conflict is declined plainly rather than managed quietly.
