Engineering · One design change
One design change, by hand.
The flow is automated; the iterations aren’t. An engineer edits, runs, reads the failures and fixes, again and again.
Engineering · One design change
The same change, verified and waiting for sign-off.
Nothing is released until an engineer signs it off. It runs inside the company, on its own compute and its own checks.
by hand
Widen the DMA descriptor queue to 32 entries
- Block
- dma_desc_q
- Change
- 16 → 32 entries, same interface
- Must hold
- 2.0 GHz · area within +3%
- Done when
- All tests pass · new full/empty tests · no overflow, proven
$ make sim TEST=desc_q_full
FAIL desc_q_full: overflow at entry 17
$ vi dma_desc_q.sv # widen count
$ make sim
PASS 1,240 / 1,240

What your team gets back.
hours a year
About of staff time. Capacity, not cash, until you decide what to do with it.
An illustration from starting figures: change them. A clean one takes to approve; held ones take longer, so the sum uses the average. Twelve months of engineer time at $110 an hour. The audit measures yours.
Start with two weeks.
We sit with one department and show you the number. Then one build, typically $20,000 to $30,000, refunded if it misses its target.
