Ask yourself, could you give the 121GW a fair shakedown?   Watching your earlier videos of handheld meter, compared with the 121GW, I suspect it would be difficult.  As a seller you would need to resolve this conflict of interest. 

One advantage to my tests, there isn't a lot of room for bias.  While I often receive comments about bias, I tend to stick with the data.   The transient generators I designed/constructed put out the same waveforms regardless if there is a $700 Keysight meter attached or a free meter from Harbor Freight.   Products that do better are not because I wave my magic bias wand.   

You may want to consider following standards that are already in-place rather than coming up with your own.   You could then procure OTS equipment.  They could also be maintained by the supplier.   Coming up with your own standards and designing/maintaining the equipment to run them seems like a poor choice for a business.   

Again, I would be interested in seeing your business plan.  The costs to setup/maintain/operate such a lab alone would be very interesting.

If not you, who? - Jeff Bezos could afford it, and a few Joe Smiths might do it.

Good luck.

I don't think a sponsorship from NordVPN, Squarespace, Skillshare or the like would hurt credibility in this case.  :)

Anyway, I like the idea and I'm curious to see how it is going to turn out. That said, joeqsmith made a good point that I'd like to reiterate:

Even when run under a separate brand, I am not sure EEVlabs would be compatible with the EEVblog "vibe" and with Dave's personal strengths and image. A "serious" test channel would require a more structured and disciplined approach, not only to the test procedures but also to the way the videos are presented.

"No script, no fear, all opinion" does not cut it for an EEVlabs channel. Sure, if you brand it separately and even have a different person be the lead presenter, you could take an entirely different approach. But then, would the new channel benefit from your personal popularity? The spontaneuous, informal, sometimes rambling style is what you are known for.
