Say we found an artifact or piece of technology that wasnt created by humans. How would we go about reverse engineering it? How do technology companies reverse engineer competitors ideas?

I think basically you treat it like a black box where you feed inputs and see the outputs to get an idea of what it does. Then also try to look at the components at a macro or micro scale.
With human tech though, an expert in that field can probably learn a lot just by looking at the components. Especially something like a circuit board where most everyone uses the same basic components.
