What the guide should help founders avoid.

  • Starting CAD before product requirements are clear
  • Choosing a supplier before prototype risks are validated
  • Separating electronics decisions from enclosure and manufacturing constraints
  • Underestimating BOM, tooling, testing, and assembly costs
  • Moving to production without DFM and pilot-production thinking
