Technology and materials consulting
Choosing the right material, technology and direction for a solution.
SCIENTIFIC AND ENGINEERING EXPERTISE
Technology and implementation consulting
I assess technical and materials problems as an engineer and scientist, not by intuition. As a habilitated doctor of materials engineering and a patent attorney, I help companies solve problems, assess new ideas, and prepare for funding.
PLN 0 — initial case assessment. An independent technical assessment — with no stake in telling you what you want to hear.
FIG. 01 / SCOPE OF CONSULTING
What I can help you with
Analysis of technological problems
When something isn't working the way it should, and no one knows why.
Assessment of new product and technology concepts
Whether the idea holds up, before you invest in it.
R&D support
Substantive help with research and development projects.
Innovation and implementation potential assessment
Whether a solution is genuinely innovative and can actually be implemented.
Technical expert opinions
Independent, for disputes, decisions and due diligence.
FIG. 02 / WHO YOU'RE TALKING TO
There's one person behind this page — me. I'm a habilitated doctor of materials engineering and I head the Department of Polymer Materials Engineering at Kazimierz Wielki University.
I have over 100 scientific publications and years of work on materials, mechanics and technology behind me. That means when I assess your problem or idea, I rely on real scientific knowledge and research experience — and as an independent expert I have no stake in telling you what you want to hear. You get an honest assessment, not a sales pitch.
FIG. 03 / R&D AND GRANTS
R&D support, grants and innovation assessment
If you're running research and development work or applying for funding, you need someone to confirm the technical value of your solution — because it's often the substantive assessment that decides whether a project gets approved. I assess a project's innovativeness and help prepare the technical grounds for a grant application, a technology loan, or an R&D tax relief claim. I also advise on identifying which work qualifies as R&D — often the hardest part of settling that relief.
One distinction that's easy to mix up — these are two different things, and I help with both:
Technical and business question
Innovation assessment
Whether a solution brings new value and can be implemented.

FIG. 04 / TECHNICAL EXPERT OPINIONS
An independent voice you can rely on
Sometimes you need an independent voice to settle a technical question — because there's a dispute underway, an investor wants verification, or you have to make a decision and want more than a hunch to base it on. I prepare technical expert reports and opinions: failure and damage analysis, assessment of material and manufacturing technology choices, solution verification. As an independent expert with a scientific background, I give you an assessment you can rely on — including in proceedings and due diligence.
FIG. 05 / PROCESS
What working together looks like
-
01
Conversation about the problem
You tell me what you're bringing and what you want to achieve.
-
02
Analysis
I look at the case from a technical and materials perspective.
-
03
Recommendation
You get a concrete solution, often with a few variants to choose from.
-
04
Testing and implementation
If needed, we verify the solution before it goes into production.
-
05
Post-implementation check
We check that it worked the way it was supposed to.
FIG. 06 / WHO IT'S FOR
Who I most often work with
If you have a technical problem or decision, let's start with a conversation.
FIG. 07 / FROM TECHNOLOGY TO PROTECTION
From technology to protection — in one place
Technology consulting often ends with the discovery that a solution is worth protecting. I'm also a patent attorney, so the same combination of skills works in both directions — without starting from scratch with someone else.
Technology consulting
technical & implementation assessment
Legal protection
patents & utility models
When your idea turns out to be innovative, I move smoothly from technical assessment to protecting it.
It works the other way too: before we file anything, I assess the solution technically and for implementation.

FIG. 08 / COSTS
How much it costs
We start with a conversation: the initial case assessment is free. I bill consulting by the hour, while expert reports and implementation support are quoted individually — their scope depends on the case.
Assessment and consultation (net)
PLN 0–650
PLN 0 — initial case assessment. PLN 500 — consultation (up to 60 min). PLN 650 — technical-patent consultation (up to 90 min).
Technology consulting (net)
from PLN 250/h
Consultations, problem analysis, concept assessment and ongoing support — billed hourly.
Expert reports and implementation support (net)
quoted individually
Scope and price depend on the case — I set them after an initial conversation.

FIG. 09 / FAQ
Frequently asked questions about technology consulting
An innovation assessment answers a technical and business question — whether a solution brings new value and can be implemented. A patentability search answers a legal question — whether it can be patented. These are two different things, and I help with both.
Yes, on the substantive side: I assess innovativeness, prepare the technical grounds for the application, and help identify work that qualifies as R&D.
A formal innovation opinion is issued by an independent scientific unit. I can support you with the technical assessment and the substantive grounds — we'll work out the details around your project.
A concrete recommendation — usually with a few solution variants to choose from.
Consulting from PLN 250/h, expert reports quoted individually, and the initial conversation is free.
