Field notes
The page lays out a four-step engagement: mutual NDA, processing customer glass on a prototype platform in Taiwan, customer lab measurement with engineering review, then equipment, licensing, or joint development depending on fit. It says sample data and process details are shared after the NDA. The commercial paths are presented as options, not as an already completed deployment.
