Execution overview

2-4 weeks

Typical pilot lead time

2+

Sample validation rounds

10+

Cross-team checkpoints

Weekly

Delivery readiness review

Step 1

1. Discovery & feasibility

Align on target markets, head unit constraints, certifications, and packaging. Sales and FAE jointly assess protocol and hardware boundaries and capture a feasibility memo.

Step 2

2. Solution & samples

Freeze SKU intent, firmware branches, and test matrices. Small-batch samples support bench and on-vehicle validation before locking critical specs.

Step 3

3. Pilot run & certification

Ramp pilot builds, batch consistency data, and compliance artifacts. Coordinate regional certification and channel audits as needed.

Step 4

4. Mass production & support

Lock BOM and process plus OTA policy. Roll out serialization, warranty terms, and support scripts; monitor field quality continuously.

Cross-functional delivery rhythm

Cross-functional delivery rhythm

Program management, FAE, firmware, manufacturing, and QA work in weekly review loops. Risks are surfaced early, and specification updates are synchronized before pilot scaling.
