How we work

Inside a CUBE engagement.

Every project runs the same four-phase loop, scaled to the scope. Here's what the semester looks like for a client team.

  1. 01

    Scope.

    We kick off with the client team, define the problem, lock the deliverable, and put a workplan in writing.

  2. 02

    Build.

    Consultants split into workstreams. Research, modeling, and engineering run in parallel with weekly client syncs.

  3. 03

    Review.

    Midpoint check-in with the client. Executive partners pressure-test the work and we adjust the back half.

  4. 04

    Ship.

    Final presentation, written recommendations, and any code or assets handed off so the client can take it from here.

In their words

What clients say.

Lucky us! We at Inprentus enjoyed working with the University of Illinois Champaign-Urbana Business and Engineering (CUBE) Consulting Group on a spring project. The group offered great analyses to achieve further momentum in the AR market with our revolutionary blazed waveguides. Looking forward to a fall follow-on project!

I really enjoyed working with the students from CUBE Consulting. Students have more fresh and innovative ideas that you could expect to find in the professional world.

It was a pleasure working with CUBE Consulting. They care deeply about their clients' needs and strive to provide innovative solutions. They are very respectful of your time and showed the utmost professionalism. I recommend working with them if you're given the opportunity.
