What do I mean by "Scientific Company"?

Today, a genuine engineer asked me about this term, and here's how I explained it:

The scientific method involves formulating a hypothesis. For instance, I developed a model to predict the temperature of magnetic components. The hypothesis in question is: How accurate is this model?

According to the scientific method, you must take your model and validate it in a laboratory.

In this specific case, you should test all the types of magnetic components encompassed by the model and all the conditions the model accounts for. Design a laboratory test bench to apply these conditions to the Device Under Test (DUT) and compare the predicted results with the actual lab results.

The test must be done under controlled conditions (Ambient temperature) and using calibrated equipment (multimeters, thermocouples, DC power supplies, probes..)

As with many scientific experiments, it is challenging to cover all possible variables in a single study.

However, the results produced by the scientific method are definitive; they are what they are.

Our temperature model displays the error distribution for a select range of cases.

The study remains incomplete until you test all types and under all conditions. However, if your case study falls within the same parameter space, you can reasonably rely on the maximum error reported in the article during the design phase.

That was my answer. He looked happy with it ??.

The first scientific validation of the temperature model can be downloaded here. As I said, the work won′t be 100% complete until we cover all the cases. We have created a Scientific Company Road Map with publications, experiments, and Lab investment.

The main goal of this initiative is to bring something to the science, even if our journey as a business doesn′t succeed.
