If they are extremely unreliable, you have to do without them per Niven's Law.

Detect: Machines (Analysis Only, -50%; Analyzing, +100%; Cosmic: No Roll +100%; ESP, -10%; Reflexive +40%; Remote +50%.) [99]

At a glance you understand everything about a machine.


Insider Glance (Armoury, Electronics Repair and Mechanic) [4]



If you want to be able to analyze everything:

Detect! (Analysis Only, -50%; Analyzing, +100%; Cosmic: No Roll +100%; ESP, -10%; Reflexive +40%; Remote +50%.) [396]

Truth.

How-about a directed precognition for knowing the outcomes of experiments?

Precognition - Directed [+100%], One event only (experimental outcomes) [-40%], Reduced Fatigue Cost 2 [+40%], Reduced Time 10 [+200%], Active Only [-60%], Cosmic (no die roll required) [+100%], Requires Concentrate [-15%] - total [107].
For each second you concentrate on an experiment you accurately predict one outcome. That should cut your R&D time down considerably. Kind of expensive though...
