The prototype worked. Production didn’t.
Same project, two ending. One risk found early. One found in the first batch.
The prototype works. The design review is closed. On paper, the product looks ready.
Then the first batch starts. A small issue appears. Nothing dramatic at first: a test point is hard to reach, a tolerance creates unstable results, or a manual operation takes longer than expected.
But now the launch date moves.
Engineering reopens the design. Quality asks for evidence. Production waits.
The fix is no longer small. This is the gap between a finished design and a production-ready product.
We have prepared a short visual story showing the same OEM electronics project with two different endings.
