Product Teardown & Benchmarking

Product Teardown & Benchmarking

A structured, engineering-focused teardown service. Osilab disassembles a product, documents its internal architecture, components, fasteners, and build choices, and highlights what’s smart, what’s weak, and what’s interesting.

What’s included:

• Physical or “desk” teardown
• Disassembly of your product or a reference/competitor product, with careful observation of how parts interface and how loads are likely carried.
• Photo and notes documentation
• High-level documentation: photos, markup, notes on materials clues, mechanisms, joints, fasteners, and assembly approach.
• Architecture & design commentary
• Summary of key design choices (how they solved certain problems, where they saved cost, where complexity lives).
• Benchmarking & takeaway summary
• A short, structured write-up with the main insights: what’s clever, what’s questionable, and what’s worth borrowing or avoiding in your own design.

Perfect for:

• Startups wanting to learn from competitor devices or reference products before designing their own
• Teams that already have a product and want to understand its construction better for cost-reduction or redesign
• Founders who don’t have time, space, or tools to do a structured teardown but still want the insights

How pricing works:

• Single product teardown (light analysis) varies based on complexity and documentation depth
• More detailed or multi-device teardowns (e.g., comparing two products) are custom-quoted

If Osilab must purchase the device to tear down, hardware cost is added at actual price

All work begins with a quick scoping chat and a fixed project quote so you know the cost upfront
