NZ inventors
You have a working device and need documented evidence before filing a patent or presenting to investors.
Hardware startups
You need performance data that stands up to external review, written in engineering language.
Patent applicants
IPONZ and overseas patent offices require reproducible, characterised test results. We produce them.
What you get
Signed test report
A formal engineering document describing methodology, conditions, results, and conclusions.
Raw data package
Measurement files, oscilloscope captures, and log exports. Everything required for independent verification.
Characterisation evidence
Device behaviour mapped across the relevant parameter space. Suitable for patent annexures and investor data rooms.
How it works
Fixed-scope, phased. Deposit required before bench work begins. Each phase is priced and agreed before it starts. Typical engagement range: $750 to $9k per phase depending on device complexity.
Discovery
From $750We review your device and what you need the evidence for. Fixed-scope proposal and price issued before work starts.
Bench testing
Scoped per engagementInstrumented testing against agreed parameters. Methodology documented throughout.
Report and data pack
Included in scopeSigned report with raw data delivered. Review session included. Revision round if required.
Engineering background
This work draws on engineering discipline carried over from high-reliability radio communications work. AcesForge is founded by Toby Bell-Ramsay, a former engineer at Tait Communications and recipient of the Steven Bly Award for best product or solution development, 2025.
