Engineering is the balance of cost and performance, so you *are* doing engineering.
I'll help review if you allow and I'm not out to scoop you on any great selling opportunity.

My experience with a kit product for EEs that own old Tek scopes is that they are cheap,
and only buy when they really perceive a big benefit, and then not often.
Niche market sales can be slow. I have a long haul attitude about it and it will be more about
web sites with evolving content than super innovative product design. To stave off lawyer attacks,
it is better to offer mostly patent expired tech as a niche kit manufacturer. The product
liability issue in the USA needs to be defused by publishing laws and offering a kit
for no particular use and getting help from a community to write up how to use it.
You're selling an electrocuter, (in the eyes of many), is why I caution you.
