### Pro-Active Engineering

- **Descriptor:** Contract electronics manufacturer
- **Industry:** [Manufacturing & Industrial > Electrical Equipment & Electronics](https://www.astuteo.com/data/clients.md?industry=electrical-equipment-electronics&status=concluded&era=2014-onward)

The project they envisioned would have consumed every available hour for well over a year, and slow feedback cycles complicated it further. Project-based pricing would have been a better fit. The client ended the relationship after a year and a half, and it was the right call.
