Engagement Models
How we structure pilots, retainers, and sovereign builds for complex, high‑criticality technology programs.


Services
Architecting thermal systems, sovereign infrastructure stacks, and physics‑driven prototypes for defense, space, and critical industry programs worldwide.
Engagements
Pilot Program
For organizations exploring next-generation thermal management or sovereign infrastructure, we typically begin with a focused Feasibility Study—an intensive 4–8 week engagement that validates the physics, systems architecture, and risk profile of your concept. Pricing is scoped to the problem’s complexity and data requirements, with clear deliverables such as simulation reports, architecture options, and go/no‑go recommendations for further R&D investment.
✓ Feasibility
✓ Prototyping
✓ Modeling
✓ Thermals
Strategic Retainer
Teams ready to move beyond concept validation often engage us through a Pilot Program, where we co-design and prototype a constrained but production-relevant slice of your system—such as a 1600‑Sigma thermal module or a secure micro-infrastructure cell. Pilot Programs are structured as fixed-scope, time-boxed engagements with milestone-based billing, giving you predictable investment and measurable technical outcomes before full-scale deployment.
✓ Architecture
✓ Trials
✓ Onsite
✓ Reporting
Sovereign Build
For long-horizon research, ongoing platform stewardship, or multi-system architectures, we offer Retainer Partnerships that embed Purple Electron’s theoretical physics and systems engineering team into your roadmap. Retainers are structured around a monthly or quarterly R&D capacity allocation, covering priority access to senior architects, iterative modeling, design reviews, and on-call advisory support as your sovereign tech stack evolves.
