From hand-built prototype to a batch you can deliver
A batch is not ten prototypes.
Check yourself
Your first units were built by hand. What does a factory need for a batch?
Gerber files, a parts list with manufacturer numbers, a placement file and a work instruction. If something is missing, a question comes back and your batch waits.

From idea to product
Feasibility, MVP, prototype, electronics, firmware, certification and small-batch production.
After this series you can:
- You decide after a small test whether your idea goes ahead, gets adjusted or stops.
- You name what a device needs before it goes into a batch, and in which order.
- You record which files are yours and what your product needs after the launch.
