“We first used the consultancy services of d’A&A in mid-2019, in the process of Stage 2 reporting for our proposed project ‘PerDeMon’, within the Malta Council for Science and Technology (MCST) FUSION Research  &  Innovation  Commercialisation  Vouchers  Programme  (CVP).  This  was  followed  by  Stage  3 reporting for the same programme, which was also developed by d’A&A.  

D’A&A’s  services  entailed  the  preparation  of  the  market  research,  product  development  costings,  and economic impact and risk profile assessment. This work was carried out in preparation of our envisaged proposal for a Technology Development Programme (TDP). We passed all CVP stages and also won the TDP funds. Our success in securing this funding is in no small part thanks to the work done by d’A&A during Stages 2 and 3 of the CVP. 

Throughout our experience of working with d’A&A, specifically via our communication with Mr. Stephen d’Alessandro and Kurt Tabone, we were impressed by their utmost professionalism, meticulous research, and commendable work ethic. They greatly facilitated our progression, allowing us to focus on our scientific work while they took care of the breakdown and analysis of the market, costings and risk factors. Beyond the work itself, a most appreciable quality was the honesty of their assessment, both during our discussions with them and in the reporting itself. This commitment to sincerity, in turn, allowed us to effortlessly home in on issues that required further fine-tuning. Indeed, having had this excellent experience with this company, the Electromagnetics Research Group engaged d’A&A for a similar exercise in the CVP process of another project,  ‘CountMe’,  which  has  also  progressed  successfully  through  the  market  research  and  product development costings phase. 

Throughout our entire experience, d’A&A were able to easily convey key ideas and suggestions for improvement. In those instances, where aspects of our project were still a work in progress, d’A&A were able to operate with the information they had available at the time, cogently and succinctly highlighting what still needed to be addressed.  

Following  each  meeting,  d’A&A  delivered  extensive  documentation  that  was  testament  to  meaningful research  on  their  part,  as  well  as  noteworthy  understanding  of  the  challenges  that  were  involved.  The attention to technical details left nothing to be desired, and in this regard, we especially appreciated the independence of their approach, which greatly eased the workload on our side, such that we could continue to focus on our experiment design. 

D’A&A were consistent in their expedience of delivery, and deadlines were always met well in advance, allowing us sufficient time to review prepared documentation. They also offered us timely reminders of upcoming deadlines. 

Perhaps the most important aspect of our experience of working with d’D&A was that, following rigorous scrutiny of various factors, they were motivated by a belief in the success of our project. This also helped us build our trust in their services. 

In conclusion, it is an utmost pleasure to work with d’A&A from beginning to end. For all the above reasons, we would have no hesitation whatsoever to make use of their services again should the need arise in the future. We very strongly support their application and wish for their success.“

“We faced D’Alessandro & Associates Ltd with a difficult task: that of positioning our R&D activity within the technically specified small spacecraft market. We were not too hopeful that anybody in Malta would have been able to deliver meaningful consultancy in this domain, but Stephen and his team did an outstanding job which changed our perspective.  

They combined their extensive experience of market behaviour with our technical briefing and were able to deliver crucial insight about the market we wished to enter. We learned a lot and we will use their services again.” 

“As Altern, we have commissioned Credal Business Consulting to perform a number of reports related to a new innovative project the company was embarking on.  Such studies included an extensive market report, risk profile analysis and economic impact assessment.    

Throughout their work, Credal have shown professionality and meticulousness to achieve high quality deliverables.  Despite that the subject of our project was a very specific technical one, their attention to detail ensured that the final reports were useful both as a guidance, as well as a basis of informed decision making throughout the project.  

We highly recommend the services of Credal Business Consulting and would be happy to collaborate again in future projects.”
