Company
One product platform.
One category of customer.
We do not do roofing, plumbing, cookware or commodity busbar work. Every project fits the same identity: high-voltage laminated DC power interconnects below 1,500 V.
Capital discipline
Financed in gates.
Validation tranche
Six months. Senior technical hire, reference architecture, simulation, prototypes through outside suppliers, 20–30 OEM accounts, paid engineering programmes. No major machinery.
Lamination & test cell
Released only after two paid development agreements, one credible production forecast of 3,000–5,000 assemblies/year, and a prototype that passes customer-agreed testing.
Copper cutting in-house
Laser or punching line purchased only after a signed production award, real lead-time pressure, and a credible path to C$8–10M of committed backlog.
Kill criteria
We would rather stop than scale a bad business.
No paid development customer within six months
Customers view the product as copper priced by weight
Expected production gross margin below 30%
Factory cannot meet material-traceability requirements
Partial-discharge or thermal-cycle performance is inconsistent
Customers demand a different process for every design
No credible production path above 3,000 units per year
Cannot recruit an experienced technical leader

A statement of intent
"We are not a copper factory. We are the North American specialist in compact, validated, high-voltage DC power interconnects for the megawatt-computing era."
