PHASE 01
Validate
Your system goes into the hands of a Ukrainian frontline unit and gets tested under peer electronic warfare. If it does not survive, you learn exactly why.
We match you with frontline units that test seriously and speak plainly — units chosen for your product category, not for whoever will take the meeting.
Expect several iteration cycles. Almost nothing works the first time under real electronic warfare. That is the point of coming.
Your engineers get feedback directly from the soldiers using the product, on timelines measured in weeks.
Validation ends one of two ways: a unit that wants your product, or precise knowledge of what to fix. Both are worth the trip.
We manage logistics, translation, access, and safety throughout.
PHASE 01 OUTCOMES
ALL SIX RESULTS →A buyer paid cash up front to pre-order ten units from a company that had a concept and no hardware.
A letter of intent from a major Ukrainian company that helped the client into Y Combinator. A second LOI is in negotiation.
Partner-channel orders submitted and moving through the process.
Clients are anonymised by category. Outcomes vary by product, performance, and demand. No specific outcome is guaranteed.
THE READINESS ASSESSMENT
Every engagement starts the same way
Three calls: a product and technical review with your engineering team, a team and readiness review against the Ten Rules, and a 60-minute decision call with Samuel Cook. You get a written readiness report and a clear decision. The fee is credited in full toward the engagement.
A fixed, credited fee. Scheduling begins within one business day.
