Why bundle and promotion planning matters on the Meta 3
Device plus consumable bundles protect margin better than a straight discount.

Lead times are a function of component availability as much as factory capacity, so buffers should reflect both.
Agreeing a defect handling procedure before the first shipment removes emotion from later conversations.
