Institutional \/ investor-grade, scalable BOM model (COGS-focused).<\/strong>
All values below are parametric targets<\/strong> (not quotes). They\u2019re intended to be used as a baseline cost stack for your financial simulator and refined with supplier RFQs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

1) Cost Structure Template (Used for All Models)<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

COGS per unit =<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Materials & parts (BOM)<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Direct labor (assembly + test)<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Factory overhead<\/strong> (line, tools, utilities, yield loss)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Warranty reserve<\/strong> (field failure allowance)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Logistics & packaging<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    To keep comparability, every model is decomposed into the same subsystems:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    A. Chassis & structural frame (spine + rings + limb bones)
    B. Actuation & joints (ACUs \/ EAP drivers)
    C. Compute stack (NSC cartridges)
    D. Hexagon lattice stack (HNL tiles\/cassettes)
    E. Sensors & perception hardware
    F. Power system (battery, BMS\/PMU, busbars)
    G. Thermal system (air or liquid)
    H. Skin & external panels (incl. tactile mesh when present)
    I. Harnessing & connectors (power\/data\/safety)
    J. Assembly, calibration, QA test, yield
    K. Packaging, shipping, compliance labeling
    L. Warranty reserve<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n\n\n\n

    2) Manufacturing Readiness Assumptions (Three Production Bands)<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

    Because costs depend massively on volume and maturity, use three bands<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Band P (Pilot) \u2014 10\u201350 units\/year<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • Higher unit labor, low supplier discounts, more scrap\/yield loss.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Band L (Low-rate) \u2014 100\u2013300 units\/year<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      • Partial automation, better pricing, stable processes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        Band S (Serial) \u2014 1,000+ units\/year<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        • Tooling amortized, strong supplier pricing, line efficiency.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

          I\u2019ll give you Band L<\/strong> as the main baseline, plus multipliers<\/strong> to convert to Pilot or Serial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n\n\n\n

          3) Model Definitions (What Each Includes)<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
            \n
          • ZT-1 (Research Core):<\/strong> rugged chassis, basic actuation, limited sensors, NSC compute only, no full HNL<\/strong> (or minimal tile set), limited skin.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • ZT-3 (Industrial Pilot):<\/strong> stronger actuation, expanded sensors, NSC + partial HNL<\/strong>, basic tactile optional.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • ZT-7 (Adaptive Industrial):<\/strong> full closed-loop embodiment, NSC + full HNL<\/strong>, redundancy in power\/thermal, higher reliability.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • ZT-10 (Full Series Flagship):<\/strong> max compute + HNL density, full tactile skin, best thermal, highest redundancy + audit\/security module package.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
            \n\n\n\n

            4) Baseline COGS Tables (Band L)<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

            4.1 ZT-1 \u2014 Cost Stack (Band L)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
