Work top-down
to build bottom-up.

The highest-value destination isn’t a prototype — it’s the deployed system. So we start there. Take a real product, decompose it to its bill of materials, and classify every part: what’s already solved, what just refreshes on a clock, and the one slice worth designing.

Decompose from the top and the unknown-unknowns disappear — what’s left is a known process and a clear NRE bill. Every system here is an open-hardware baseline with a real, sourced BOM.
