Focused Assessment
A time-bounded review of a defined product, compliance or supplier question, ending with findings and a prioritised action plan.
Services
Complex requirements.
Clear technical action.
Senior technical consulting for industrial companies that need a defensible view of compliance, product risk, supplier capability and industrial readiness.
01Evidence before opinion.
We work from requirements, product evidence and industrial reality — not generic checklists.
02Management clarity.
Findings are translated into priorities, decisions, owners and a practical path forward.
03Engineering depth.
Our work connects regulatory expectations with product development, validation, suppliers and production.
01 / CRA Readiness
Turn cybersecurity obligations into an engineering-ready plan.
For connected products, the difficult part is rarely reading the regulation. It is establishing what applies to the product, what evidence already exists, where technical and organisational gaps remain, and who must close them.
Discuss a CRA readiness review →Where we help
Product teams preparing new or existing connected products for European market requirements; organisations building a structured CRA workstream; and manufacturers that need clarity across software, hardware, documentation and supplier interfaces.
Typical scope
- Product scope and applicability review
- Requirements-to-evidence gap assessment
- Cybersecurity risk-assessment readiness
- Vulnerability handling and update-process review
- Technical documentation and evidence structure
- Supplier requirement flow-down and dependencies
Typical outputs

Gap & evidence matrix
Prioritised remediation roadmap
Management decision summary
02 / Product Compliance
Build a clear line from requirement to evidence.
Complex products accumulate regulatory, technical and customer requirements across teams. We create structure around that complexity so critical obligations, evidence gaps and ownership are visible before market entry or major change.
Discuss a compliance gap assessment →Where we help
Before product launch, during major technical changes, when documentation has grown inconsistently, or when engineering and compliance teams need one common view of what must be demonstrated.
Typical scope
- Requirement baseline and applicability mapping
- Requirements-to-evidence traceability
- Technical documentation structure and gap review
- Verification and validation evidence readiness
- Change-impact and interface assessment
- Cross-functional action and ownership alignment
Typical outputs

03 / Technical Risk Assessment
Expose critical technical risk before it becomes programme risk.
We provide an independent engineering view when a programme, product or supplier decision carries material technical uncertainty. The objective is not a long risk register — it is clarity on what can fail, why it matters and what evidence is needed next.
Discuss an independent technical review →Where we help
At design or launch gates, before critical sourcing decisions, during recurring validation or production issues, and when management needs a technically grounded second view before committing resources.
Typical scope
- System, product and interface risk review
- Requirement quality and assumption challenge
- Validation coverage and evidence assessment
- Industrialisation and production-risk review
- Failure-pattern and root-cause structuring
- Decision-focused prioritisation of open risks
Typical outputs

04 / Supplier Readiness
Know whether a supplier is truly ready — before your programme depends on it.
Supplier readiness is more than a quality audit. We assess whether technical capability, development discipline, validation, documentation and industrialisation are mature enough for the programme being asked of the supplier.
Discuss a supplier readiness assessment →Where we help
During supplier nomination, before industrialisation gates, when APQP or PPAP maturity is unclear, or when a supplier is repeatedly missing technical, validation or production commitments.
Typical scope
- Technical capability and requirements review
- Development and engineering-process maturity
- APQP / PPAP readiness where applicable
- Validation, traceability and documentation readiness
- Production and launch-readiness assessment
- Corrective-action effectiveness and escalation structure
Typical outputs

05 / Industrial Consulting
Bring structure to technically demanding industrial programmes.
When product development, validation, suppliers and production all intersect, progress depends on disciplined technical execution. We support teams at the points where engineering decisions have direct industrial consequences.
Discuss your industrial challenge →Where we help
During industrialisation, product or process change, launch preparation, technical recovery programmes and cross-functional issues that need experienced engineering coordination rather than another layer of project administration.
Typical scope
- Requirements and change-management support
- Verification, validation and test-strategy review
- Industrialisation and production-readiness support
- Technical issue and escalation management
- End-of-line / production-test readiness
- Cross-functional readiness gates and decision support
Typical outputs
Structured workstream plan

Engagement formats
Designed around the decision you need to make.
Not every challenge needs a long transformation programme. We define the smallest engagement that can produce a reliable technical answer and a usable next step.
Readiness Programme
Structured support across several workstreams where gaps must be closed, evidence created and progress tracked to a readiness milestone.
Critical Issue Review
Independent technical review when a recurring problem, launch risk or escalation needs fast structure and senior engineering judgement.
Supplier Review
Targeted assessment of a supplier's technical and industrial capability, including gaps, recovery actions and management-level conclusions.
Our approach
Assess. Prioritise. Make it actionable.
- 01Define the decision.
We start with the business and technical question that the work must answer.
- 02Review the evidence.
Requirements, product data, documentation, test results, supplier information and open issues are assessed together.
- 03Challenge the gaps.
We distinguish true critical gaps from noise and identify the evidence needed to close uncertainty.
- 04Translate into action.
Outputs are structured for execution: priority, owner, decision, evidence and next milestone.
Scope note. Auriantum provides technical consulting, engineering assessment and readiness support. Where formal legal opinions, certification or notified-body activities are required, these remain with the appropriately qualified legal or conformity-assessment body.
