This preface outlines exactly what happens once seed funds arrive and how we execute under two investor options: a single Lump-Sum transfer or a Milestone schedule. Scope and deliverables are identical; only the cash flow & reporting cadence differ.
Funds are released in one transfer and deployed immediately across priority workstreams. We use tight burn controls and weekly reporting to compress time-to-demo and derisk long-lead items.
| Workstream | Purpose | Illustrative Share |
|---|---|---|
| Engineering & Lab | Benches, RF gear, shielding, safety & calibration | ~15% |
| Demo Units (×3) | Components, assembly, test & field validation | ~55% |
| Validation Racks | On-prem DC pods for scaled data/AI validation | ~10% |
| Campus & Vendors | Site diligence, utilities pre-work, MPW holds | ~12% |
| Compliance & Security | Visitor flow, access control, audit readiness | ~5% |
| Contingency | Price movement & schedule float | ~3% |
Percentages scale to the investor’s seed level; scope is unchanged.
Identical scope executed as gated tranches tied to concrete deliverables. The first gate equips our lab; subsequent gates drive demos, validation, and vendor commitments.
| Milestones M1–M7 | Total (Illustrative) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| All gates above (scope locks to demos, validation, campus/MPW prep) | $450,000 | Scales up or down to the investor’s seed level; first gate fixed at $40k per spec. |
Amounts reflect our prior plan: 3 demo units (~$275k all-in), on-prem validation racks, temporary operations build-out, and chip MPW preparation.
Whether Lump-Sum or Milestones, we deliver the same outcomes:
Select your preferred structure and we’ll countersign the term sheet and post the working plan to your investor portal within 24 hours of funding.
We maintain a single thread for approvals, invoices, and reporting artifacts to keep decisions fast and auditable.
