Frequently asked questions about working with Milo: prototype cost, timelines, IP ownership, working with international clients, taking over existing projects and NDAs.
Questions we get asked.
How much does a hardware prototype cost?
Most connected-device projects land between a few thousand and several tens of thousands of euros depending on complexity, certification needs and batch size. After a free scoping call you get a written CAEC plan with a range for each phase.
How long does it take to get a working prototype?
A typical device runs 3 to 6 months from concept to tested prototype batch. Software-only projects are usually faster. The Ask AI page gives a rough phase-by-phase estimate in minutes.
Who owns the IP, files and source code?
You do. All schematics, CAD, firmware and software source are delivered to you at each phase, and you own them outright.
Do you work with clients outside Montenegro?
Yes — most of our clients are abroad. We work remotely with teams worldwide, in English, and ship prototypes internationally.
Can you take over an existing project?
Yes. We start with a short audit of the current hardware and code, then propose where to pick up in the CAEC process.
Do you sign NDAs?
Of course — send yours or use ours, before you share anything sensitive.
