Cost Calculations
$100/unit (remote) vs $400/unit (local) 50 sets per build, two major builds $10k (remote) vs $40k (local) One week delay - $40k $50k (remote) vs $40k (local)

A Simple Philosophy
If you maintain zero difference between prototype and production designs, you can mass produce any revision even when you iterate designs rapidly
Corollary
Always manufacture prototype and production designs on the same tooling
- always

Velocity
Paris –> Brussels: 314 km SNCF 574 km/hr –> 32 minutes 10 minute station delay… now it’s 42 minutes Average velocity is now 448 km/hr... Taking us back to 1996!
Use a less expensive train, and still get there faster!

NY Review of Books
“A pen is not a magic wand. The critical faculty is not conjured from nothing. But it was remarkable how many students improved their performance with this simple
- stratagem. There is something predatory, cruel even,
about a pen suspended over a text. Like a hawk over a field, it is on the lookout for something vulnerable.” –Tim Park
