Every gram of aluminum, every wire run, every weld bead drives EV unit economics. We teardown the architecture before it’s frozen — and share in the savings we engineer out.
Post-launch cost reduction is 3× harder than pre-freeze design-to-value. We sit in the room with engineering — not after the supplier quotes land.
Reverse-engineer the entire BOM before tooling cuts. Identify $5K+ design-to-value plays at the system level.
When engineering proposes 3 designs, we cost all 3 from raw material to finished good — engineering picks with full cost transparency.
While engineering finalizes the design, we’re already pre-qualifying suppliers across the regions that win on landed cost.
Design-to-value teardown on $9.3M of charging-station architecture. 20% architecture-level cost reduction unlocked before tooling. Rivian paid only from the verified savings.
