Compliance knowledge shouldn't be locked behind a retainer
MarkReady is building the reference layer that hardware teams actually need — free, searchable, and kept current.
Hardware certification is expensive and opaque
Getting a product through FCC, CE, or UL certification means navigating thousands of pages of regulations, finding the right test lab, and figuring out which rule parts apply to your specific device. Most teams face two options:
- 01Hire a compliance consultant at $200–500/hr and hope they know your product category
- 02Go it alone — reading CFR sections, KDB publications, and outdated forum posts until something clicks
