Case studies

Time each assembly step at two volumes before you requote a single component.

Four production runs of a sensor node. Cost per unit fell 41% between runs one and three, then 3% between three and four, and the team spent two months quoting cheaper parts before they looked at assembly.

Size batch one so the raise still covers batch two at the same unit cost.

A cookware brand put its whole seed round into one production run, sold it out in nine weeks, and then could not pay for the second run until the first had collected.
