# Slick Engineering & Consulting, Inc.

> Research-engineer-led software shop building shipped products — measurement instruments, imaging tools, web tools, digital products, and (forthcoming) hardware attachments — rooted in applied science. Tagline: "Instruments, not apps." The shop's primary output is paid products people buy directly; research-engineering consulting is selectively secondary. Founded 2016 in Delray Beach, FL by Corey Slick (research engineer, formerly NASA JPL, JHU/APL, U.S. Naval Special Warfare, U.S. Army I2WD/Redstone, U.S. Air Force SMC).
>
> Unifying thesis: phones contain the most powerful integrated sensor pack most people will ever own (camera, mic, accelerometer, gyroscope, barometer, GPS, ambient-light, sometimes LiDAR). Almost no app developer treats them as instruments. Slick Engineering does — and applies the same research-engineering rigor to non-sensor problems where most tools are shallow ("thoroughness over flash").

## Products

### FlickerSpec
Professional-grade LED flicker meter for iOS (Android in development). Two measurement flows: (1) **Quick Measurement** — live IEEE 1789-2015 capture at 240 fps via the iPhone camera (percent flicker, flicker index, dominant frequency, IEEE 1789 verdict, confidence, uncertainty); (2) **IEC Certified Measurement** (Pro, iOS only as of v1.2.0) — 180-second tripod-based capture computing **PstLM per IEC TR 61547-1:2015 Annex A** through an 8× polyphase upsample to 1920 Hz and the standard light-flickermeter pipeline. PstLM = 1.0 is the perceptual visibility threshold and the metric **EU Ecodesign uses for SLR (Single Lighting Regulation) compliance** — i.e., the same number a $1,200+ professional hardware flicker meter (UPRtek MF250N, Gigahertz-Optik, etc.) reports. Forthcoming: a purpose-built photodiode attachment to extend the app into SVM (80 Hz – 2 kHz) and PAVM (Phantom Array Visibility Measure) above the 240 fps camera's 120 Hz Nyquist limit. Free tier is unlimited Quick measurements; Pro ($149.99 one-time) unlocks IEC Certified Measurement, save-to-database, PDF reports (with PstLM + EU Ecodesign threshold sections), CSV export, calibration certificates.
