Why One Stick?
Students, creators, developers, gamers, and small businesses are the intended audience. The enclosure, accelerator, compatibility, and driver assumptions still require validation.
Founder Advantage
The 6/8/12/16 ladder is a planning framework for validation. Hardware, landed cost, compatibility, and fulfillment must be proven before an offer is opened.
All target prices are in USD. USB4 / Thunderbolt compatibility remains subject to testing.
