Six ways we keep your programme on plan

Engage the whole set as an embedded validation lead, or start with the one bottleneck hurting most.

What we do

End-to-end test planning & validation.

From first requirements to signed-off data — the discipline that keeps complex hardware programmes on plan when the pressure is on.

Discuss your programmeHow it works
How we work

Fractional by design.

Senior test-planning discipline embedded in your programme on a light, predictable retainer — enough to hold the plan together, without the cost of a full-time head.

See the bottleneck before it bites
Testing demandRig capacityShortfall
Demand spikes around milestones; capacity is fixed. Map them and the crunch shows up weeks early — with time to re-sequence, add a slot, or bring a supplier forward.

Start small, prove it fast.

A good place to begin is a fixed-fee Testing Demand & Capacity Baseline — a low-risk way to see exactly where your bottlenecks are, and how we work, before committing to anything ongoing.

Ask about a baseline
01

Scope & baseline

Understand the programme, map current test demand against real capacity, and surface the immediate risks.

02

Forecast & plan

Build the 12-month demand forecast and capacity plan, and align stakeholders on a single version.

03

Embed & deliver

Work inside the programme part-time, coordinating engineering, test ops and suppliers to keep it on track.

04

Report & steer

Give leadership clear KPI reporting so decisions — and course corrections — are made on evidence.

About Calibre

Discipline earned on a prime programme.

Ranjeet Bansal
Founder
“The same discipline that de-risks an inverter programme applies wherever complex hardware has to be proven against a deadline.”

Calibre Programme Validation is an independent consultancy founded by Ranjeet Bansal, a test planning and validation specialist with three years leading powertrain test planning at Jaguar Land Rover, with a deep focus on power electronics and inverters.

Calibre exists to bring that discipline to smaller teams who need it but can't justify a full-time senior hire — as a trusted fractional partner, not a passing contractor.
