Works inside constraints
Assess memory, compute, power and software limits of the product.
Keep the board, sensors and product architecture that are already decided. Resolve the model, memory and integration work that stands between them and useful on-device intelligence.






The board may be selected and the device close to market. Sensors, firmware, security and manufacturing decisions are already connected. Replacing hardware for a model creates cost, delay and product risk.
Assess memory, compute, power and software limits of the product.
Address model, processing and data movement together.
Integrate through the existing toolchain and architecture.
Make assumptions and success criteria explicit and testable.
Onboard supports products with an established embedded platform and teams replacing an impractical AI approach or creating a repeatable route across variants.
Use case and decision.
Model, target and software path.
Smallest useful proof.
Against acceptance criteria.
Inside the product environment.
The objective is not to redesign the product around AI. It is to make the chosen intelligence work inside the product already built.
