You need experience, and hands-on approach. "3 years, and millions of dollars" — is very typical when you keep going from factory, to factory, leaving tooling investment every time they screw up. Instead, you have to pick at least

One of very few Singaporean semi companies which made it. The only one I would list second to it would be Espressif, which makes ESP8266 and ESP32. I lived in Singapore as a student 2007-2009.

A roaming SIM itself would be a red flag. On the other hand, grabbing a man based on SIM ID on the street wouldn't be an easy thing in a large city. SIM tower triangulation is only accurate to a hundred meters or more in a large city.
