Teams that skip early scoping usually pay twice — once in failed lab weeks, and again in missed purchase-order windows.
Practical checklist
- Identify cell vs pack vs system responsibilities
- Plan UN38.3 / transport docs for sample logistics
- Control BMS firmware versions under test
- Align charger accessories in the system definition
