MacbookPro A1990

We have got an inquiry for a NAND-recovery on this Macbook, but we have no experience for Apple's stuff so we are going to send the customer to another -- bigger -- DR-house. However, this doesn't stop me from learning something new

Since it's Apple, my first thought is that their NAND-protocol is a proprietary one, and probably even encrypted. So not simply a chip-off recovery by pulling the NAND and dump it. Do they (Apple) use their own controllers, or do they use standard ones? For encrypted drives, is there even a single chance for recovery, or is it the nowadays standard "bad luck, you should have backed up your data"?

Try DFU and revive if possible, sometimes it looks dead but DFU works.

If not, you need to fix the board and hope short didn't hit CPU or NAND. Best place to learn is - https://boards.rossmanngroup.com/#forum.2

Fixing the board might be easier. You can then break even on the Data ... and sell the logic board to make money. ?
