Validation before tooling
Roughly thirty days to settle development risk, deliberately placed before the irreversible spend.
Tooling is the point at which a hair tool project stops being reversible. Anything discovered afterwards is corrected by modifying steel, restarting validation or living with the fault.
The validation window sits before that point by design. Ten years of developing for Japan market brands, where a returned unit is treated as a supplier defect rather than a statistic, is where that habit comes from.
