When the answer has to hold up in a design review, or in court.
Software answers the question. ETS engineers stand behind it. Seven service lines, one method, and 41 years of production outcomes behind every recommendation, delivered at a fixed price wherever the scope allows.

A plastic-part decision crosses four desks before it ships. Here is what ETS gives each of them.
Risk you can put a number on.
A fixed-price pre-tooling review starts at $3,500. One line of the failure ledger costs $10K–$75K once steel is cut. Seats, training and engineering hours can share a single annual agreement.
What a review covers →An expert built for cross-examination.
Fellow of SPE and author of the field’s standard text. Expert-witness work since 1997. A conflict check comes first, and availability, a CV and fees follow within one business day.
Request a conflict check →Simple to buy, easy to audit.
Pay by check, ACH, purchase order or card. Fixed price where applicable, with scope, timeline and quote agreed before work begins, and an NDA signed on request before we see anything.
Start the paperwork →The adoption ladder
Start small. Grow when it pays.
One annual agreement can cover seats, training and senior engineering hours as a single line item in your engineering budget.
