The problem

Factories quote what they can read.

Most first-time makers meet the same three walls on the way to a first run.

A

Samples that miss

Money disappears into sample rounds that start from an unclear file.

B

Files that get misread

A factory that cannot read your sketch guesses, and every guess lands on your budget.

C

Pricing that hides

Quotes arrive as ranges and surprises, which makes a launch budget hard to plan.

The fix

One file your factory can quote, sample and sew.
