# BOM Risk Audit

> Find the part that goes end-of-life before your product does.

Send us your bill of materials. We come back with lifecycle status, real lead times, single-source exposure and a qualified alternate for every part that needs one.

- **Price:** quoted per project after a call — er@epsilon-labs.co
- **What moves the price above that floor:** Line count, and how many parts need an alternate qualified rather than just looked up. Over 150 lines we quote per project.
- **Typical duration:** 3–5 days
- **Category:** Desk work
- **Page:** https://epsilon-labs.co/services/bom-audit/
- **Enquiries:** er@epsilon-labs.co

## The problem

A board is only as manufacturable as its least available part. An end-of-life regulator, a 52-week lead time, or a component with exactly one source will stop a production run just as effectively as a design fault — and unlike a design fault, it arrives without warning.

Most BOMs are assembled from what was in the designer's library, not from what a distributor can actually ship next quarter.

## What you get

- Lifecycle status for every line: active, NRND, or end-of-life
- Real distributor stock and lead times, not catalogue availability
- Single-source exposure flagged, with the risk stated plainly
- A qualified alternate for every part that needs one, checked for footprint and spec compatibility
- Cost roll-up at your build quantity
- A ranked list of what to redesign around now rather than later

## How it runs

- **Day 0** — You send the BOM. CSV, Excel or a KiCad export — whatever you have.
- **Days 1–4** — Lifecycle, sourcing and alternates research.
- **Day 5** — Annotated BOM back, with the ranked risk list on top.

## This is for you if

- A board heading into its first production run
- A product that has been in production a while and nobody has re-checked the BOM
- Anyone who has been bitten by an allocation shortage once already

## This is NOT for you if

- Schematic or layout review — that is Pre-Fab Design Review
- Negotiating with distributors or placing orders on your behalf
- BOMs with no part numbers. We need something to look up.

## Proof

Epsilon1 ships with a BOM carrying distributor part numbers and qualified alternates, because a BOM you cannot order from is a document rather than a deliverable.

## Questions

### Is this included in Board-to-Fab?

Yes. This offer is for boards somebody else designed.
