Ben had just landed his first serious engineering job. The company built a high-tech industrial system they were eager to sell across Europe, and Ben was assigned a challenging mission: handle the CE Marking.

He was excited. Finally, a real project. The company already had consultants involved, so he assumed they would guide him step by step.

They didn’t.

The consultants reviewed his drafts, corrected details here and there, and sent long emails full of standards and references. But no priorities. No timelines. No roadmap. Ben felt as if he had been handed a puzzle with no picture on the box.

Weeks went by. Test plans changed. Internal meetings multiplied. Everyone expected Ben to “figure it out”.

One evening, while searching for clues online, Ben stumbled upon something that felt like a miracle: a rare exemption that might allow their product to avoid CE Marking altogether. The conditions were difficult to interpret but they seemed to fit.

It was as if someone had removed a mountain from his shoulders.

He proudly shared the discovery with the consultants. They immediately replied that he was wrong, but their explanations were confusing and contradictory. There were at least four irrefutable reasons why the exemption didn’t apply, but the consultants’ arguments wandered elsewhere.

Besides, Ben didn’t want to listen. He preferred the fantasy.

Months passed. The product was boxed, documentation “ready”, and the first shipment prepared.

Then reality arrived.

The Spanish importer rejected the exemption as soon as they saw it. None of the criteria applied. Ben was wrong, but he never crossed paths with anyone able to help him.

Ben had to start the entire CE process from scratch. Much work to do. More bills. More months of delay.

…

Maybe you think what happened to Ben could never happen to you. And you’re probably right.

But something similar could. Different details, same pattern:

Bad consultants, shortcut fantasies and lot of wasted hours.

We’re not sure which one is worse, but we do know this:
