01 — Confirm the brief
Define the product goal, target user, use case, benchmark, brand direction, quantity range, timing and known constraints.
What you receive
An approved starting brief and a list of information still required.
A development process with a decision at every stage.
The project does not move forward on assumptions. Each stage has a specific question, a review point and an output the team can use.
02 — Define the product criteria
Agree on format, application, sensory profile, functional priorities and the questions the first prototype should answer.
What you receive
A formulation brief with clear review criteria.
03 — Develop the formulation
Prepare and document the formulation direction within the confirmed scope, with each prototype tied to a defined purpose.
What you receive
A prototype and the criteria the team will use to assess it.
04 — Review and refine
Evaluate the sample, record decisions and specify the changes or further information required.
What you receive
An agreed instruction for the next iteration or stage.
05 — Prepare for production
Compile the confirmed product direction, review records and outstanding requirements for the agreed production scope.
What you receive
A clear handoff showing what is confirmed and what remains to be completed.
Tell us where your project stands.
An early idea is enough. A benchmark, existing formula, quantity range or target timing helps us prepare a more useful first discussion.
