Research & strategy
Understand the user, environment, opportunity and commercial constraints.
We build physical products from concept to commercial production.


APPLIED SCIENCE FOR REAL LIFE / REAL SOLUTIONS. REAL APPLICATION.
TimeFrame Science is the group’s physical-product development and intellectual property engine. We bring research, design, materials, formulation, prototyping, testing and manufacturing coordination together within one development system.
Understand the user, environment, opportunity and commercial constraints.
Translate concepts into functional designs and technical requirements.
Select ingredients, fabrics, components and materials for their intended function.
Build, assess and refine controlled prototypes and samples.
Evaluate performance, quality, stability and manufacturing consistency.
Coordinate specialist manufacturers, suppliers and production partners.
Develop protection, usability and commercial presentation as one system.
Transition validated products into production and their dedicated commercial environment.
Six stages connect the initial opportunity to repeatable production. Each stage creates the knowledge needed for the next decision.
Understand the user, environment, problem and intended outcome.
Set the parameters that the finished product must meet.
Design, formulate, source, prototype and refine.
Assess performance, quality, stability and manufacturability.
Establish suppliers, manufacturing processes and production controls.
Transition the validated product into its brand, distribution and commercial system.
Hydration built for heat.
Individual combat-sports brands maintain their own identity while drawing on shared product development, sourcing and manufacturing coordination.
Exploratory work begins with a material, a technical opportunity or an unresolved problem. Croton lechleri is one area of investigation, progressing through research and material evaluation.
View the development pipelineRequirements change with time, environment and use. We design for the sequence surrounding a product, as well as the product itself.
Understand what needs to be ready before the primary experience begins.
Define what the user and product need while the activity is taking place.
Consider the requirements that continue after the main moment of use.
We define the requirements and coordinate the specialist organisations needed to meet them. TimeFrame Science maintains the specification, development knowledge and production coordination.
Our manufacturing modelFormulations, technical designs, patterns, specifications and manufacturing knowledge can become lasting development assets. TimeFrame Science develops and manages this intellectual property to support internal brands, associated companies and selected licensing relationships.
Our intellectual property roleWe work with manufacturers, laboratories, material suppliers and selected product founders to develop exceptional physical products.
