Technical advisory / Hong Kong
The right technical question changes the decision.
Plays Research Limited helps investors, technology companies and legal teams examine the engineering behind a claim. Our focus is robotics, medical devices and automation, with direct review of English and Chinese technical materials.
01 / Before an investment
Technical due diligence
What has the technology demonstrated, and what still has to work?
Examine product capability, engineering dependencies and the work needed to reach a milestone. Connect the findings to development cost, timing and execution risk.
02 / Before an investor review
Technical readiness for financing
Can the evidence support the technical claims in the presentation and data room?
Organise the evidence behind a company's technical story. Identify gaps and prepare the team for substantive questions from prospective investors.
03 / During a dispute
Technical analysis for disputes
What do the specifications, test results and development records actually establish?
Help counsel understand the system, reconstruct the technical record and compare competing explanations. Present the reasoning in language a non-engineer can follow.
The deliverable
Reasoning you can use.
01
An assessment you can interrogate
Findings linked to source material, with assumptions and unresolved questions stated explicitly.
02
The implications for your decision
An explanation of which technical issues matter, why they matter and what would change the assessment.
03
A practical next step
Prioritised requests, tests or engineering actions, shaped around the decision and deadline.
From question to evidence.
Work is led by Yang SHEN, Ph.D. We first define the decision, the available evidence and the scope of review. Document analysis can be combined with engineering discussions and agreed site work. The deliverables are set out in the engagement agreement.
