Bespoke costing development

All these different strategies can sometimes lead to markedly different price stmctures and it is important to ensure that the resulting price stmcture does not make the company uncompetitive. In the case of bespoke software houses, mentioned above, an attempt to add overheads to the cost of bought-in computers might make them uncompetitive in comparison with computer manufacturers who offer a software development service and who would, presumably, not expect to add an additional overhead to a product that they have manufactured themselves. 

In summary, solid alkaline fuel cells using hydrogen as a fuel represent a potential improvement in performance and reduction of cost over acidic PEM fuel cells. The technology is in the early stages of development, shown by the lack of studies to date and the variation in techniques and results in these studies, and requires further research with bespoke methods applied to the alkaline case (as opposed to trying to apply acid PEM principles to what might be a very different technology) to attain the performance levels achieved from state-of-the-art PEM fuel cells.
