[01]Design
Every decision is a cost decision.
- [01]
Every mechanism is a line item
The part, the labor to fit it, and the failure it causes later.
- [02]
Consumer compute
Off the shelf, and separable from the airframe.
- [03]
Payload agnostic
The payload section is separable. Changing the mission is a configuration, not a program.

The rest we would rather discuss.
We go through configurations, cost targets and hardware status directly.
