Move from an observed material problem to a clearer technical question.
Complex material problems are rarely solved by a single data point. A useful investigation brings together the material context, the observed symptom and an analytical path that can support a decision.
01Problem-led framing
Start with the product and the problem, not a generic equipment list.
02Technical interpretation
Connect analytical observations to the next question worth testing.
03Confidential engagement
Discuss confidentiality requirements before sensitive details are shared.
Analytical capabilities
Methods selected to fit the material question.
Illustrative analytical pathways to discuss during project scoping. Actual method selection should be confirmed for each sample and objective.
