New research: the real barriers stopping e-textiles scaling to production
Peer-reviewed research led by WearNex founder Michael John Lynch reveals the real barriers to scaling e-textile production and the fixes that actually help.
Technical Due Diligence
Independent technical assessment of wearable and e-textile products, technology, inventions and development plans.
What it is
An independent, technical read on a product, idea, invention, team or investment opportunity, before you commit, from a vetted expert in the field. Because WearNex operates its own Lab, claims can be verified directly through testing rather than accepted on a vendor's word, which matters for validation and infringement disputes as much as it does for investment decisions.
Problems this solves
- Technology claims that haven't been independently tested
- Investment decisions made on a vendor's word rather than a verified assessment
- Infringement or validation disputes that need physical testing to resolve, not just desk research
- No access to an expert who understands both the electronics and the textile side of a claim
How we work
- Assess the technology, team and development plan against what's actually needed to reach production
- Where relevant, test claims physically in the WearNex Lab rather than relying on documentation alone
- Provide an honest, independent technical opinion, backed by our expert witness experience on the UK Register of Expert Witnesses
- Report findings in terms useful to technical and non-technical stakeholders alike
Who it's for
- Investors evaluating a wearable or e-textile technology or team
- Businesses assessing an acquisition or licensing opportunity
- Legal teams needing an independent technical assessment for a dispute
- Companies validating a supplier or partner's technical claims
