Experience is often measured in years.
The more useful question is what those years actually teach.

Across manufacturers, distributors, engineers, business owners, legal teams and government stakeholders, in multiple industries and regions, the challenges were rarely the same. The patterns usually were.
Technical problems are rarely just technical. Commercial problems are rarely just commercial.
Relationships matter. Evidence matters. The most valuable insight tends to show up where technical understanding, commercial reality and practical experience meet — not where any one of them stands alone.
Today, that’s the work:
helping individuals and organisations facing situations that call for technical understanding, commercial judgment and practical experience in equal measure — whether the question involves fire protection systems, technical investigation, product liability, international business, strategic positioning or innovation.
