Does any of this sound familiar?
01
“I have an invention but don't know how to explain it.”
02
“I filed my provisional patent application myself.”
03
“My patent attorney needs more technical information.”
04
“I need an engineer to help document how my invention works.”
05
“I need someone to help design my invention.”
06
“I need engineering drawings before building a prototype.”
07
“I don't know which professional to hire.”
08
“I have a patent, but I don't know what to do next.”
09
“I want to turn my invention into income.”
You don't have to know all the answers. That's why you have a Business Architect.
Our Solution
The right plan. The right people. Someone working alongside you.
Developing an invention often requires several professionals. But finding the right people is only the beginning.
You need to know what they should do, when their work is needed, and how everything fits together.
That's where Tris No H comes in. As your Business Architect, we help you:
02
Define the Direction
Determine what needs to happen next, which decisions come first, and how to use your available resources wisely.
03
Bring in the Right Professionals
Help identify and select qualified engineers, patent attorneys, product designers, prototype developers, manufacturers, and other specialists based on your invention's needs.
04
Define and Coordinate the Work
Help establish what each professional needs to accomplish, what information they require, and what deliverables are expected.
05
Work Alongside You
With ongoing support, your Business Architect remains involved to help coordinate specialists, review progress, address challenges, and guide the next decisions.
We don't just point you toward someone else. We help you navigate the process.
In Their Words
Trusted by inventors and technology founders.
From early invention development to complex engineering businesses, Tris No H helps bring clarity, business direction, and the right professionals together.
I didn't understand why no one had explained what was missing from my patent application or the technical readiness work that needed to be done.
Working with Tris helped me understand who I needed to hire, why I needed them, and exactly what they needed to accomplish.
I'm grateful God sent Tris to show me the way.
I have worked with Tris DeWalt for many years, and she is currently serving as fractional CMO for QSLS Engineering. Tris has been invaluable to our company. QSLS is a deep tech systems engineering tool, and my background is highly technical. Tris brings the business perspective that a company like ours needs to succeed.
She has developed our business plans, marketing materials, and pitch documents for venture capital firms and other investors, turning complex technical concepts into a clear, compelling business story. Just as important, she has provided the business management direction that helps keep our technical work focused on the market and on growth.
Tris is strategic, insightful, and a pleasure to work with. For any technology founder who needs to bridge the gap between engineering and business, I recommend her without hesitation.
You don't have to navigate invention development alone.
We help you map the plan, define the direction, bring in the right professionals, and can work alongside you as your invention moves forward.

Technical & Patent Readiness
Your patent attorney needs technical information. Who helps you prepare it?
A patent attorney handles the legal requirements of protecting your invention.
But your invention may also require engineering drawings, product architecture, technical descriptions, software system documentation, or other specialized information. How do you know which engineer to hire or what to ask them to produce? We help bridge that gap.
Tris No H helps you:
- ✓Understand the technical information being requested.
- ✓Identify the appropriate engineering specialty.
- ✓Help select qualified technical professionals.
- ✓Define the engineering work and expected deliverables.
- ✓Coordinate communication between the inventor, engineer, and patent attorney.
- ✓Help keep the technical work aligned with the agreed requirements.
Your patent attorney determines what is needed for the patent application. We help coordinate the technical professionals and documentation that support the process.

Why a Business Architect?
We don't just give you a list of professionals and leave you on your own.
An inventor may hire a patent attorney, engineer, designer, or manufacturer without knowing how their work should fit together.
That can lead to confusion, delays, and unnecessary expenses.
Your Business Architect helps you see the bigger picture.
We develop the plan, identify the right expertise, define responsibilities, and help coordinate the work.
With ongoing engagement, we can remain involved as your project develops, helping you understand decisions and keep the professionals working toward the same objectives.
