- Each value is labeled measured, inferred, or simulated; the Plus One figures are explicitly design targets, not built-product measurements.
Field notes
The proposed document is intended to keep product and factory information together, including supply, assembly, quality checks, risks, and sources. The Plus One page lists 38 parts, 22 assembly operations, eight line stations, and 15 tests, but labels all four counts as design targets because the product has not been built. A separate EC-1 controller is presented as made-up data worked through end to end.
