1) Hardware Product One-Pager (Spec → Shelf)
H1 (website): Hardware PRD that survives the real world
Subhead: From sensing and power math to drop tests—ship without “surprise failures.”
What you fill in (teaser):
Problem (1–2 lines), Success numbers, Non-goals
Sensing & actuation table, Power budget, Durability targets
Packaging, Serviceability, Launch gates
Full in-app template
Problem
One sentence. Who gets hurt today? Cost of not fixing?
Success Criteria (hard numbers)
First-pass yield at EVT/DVT: __% / __%
RMA rate: ≤ __% at 90 days
Setup time: ≤ __ minutes (p95)
Workflow completion rate (prototype→EVT→DVT): ≥ __%
Non-Goals
(Example: No multi-SKU colorways in v1. No Wi-Fi if BLE meets latency.)
System Requirements
Sensing: variable, unit, accuracy (±), sample rate ( Hz), calibration plan
Actuation: force/torque/speed; fail-safe defaults
Compute & Memory: min MCU/CPU class, RAM/Flash floors
Comms: protocol, throughput, latency budget
Power: chemistry, duty cycle, target life __h; charge time __h; thermal throttling behavior
Durability: UV/chemicals; IP rating target; drop spec (height × faces × repetitions)
Packaging: “in the box,” unboxing steps, retail constraints
Serviceability: repair vs replace, return flow, defect tolerances, SLAs
Key User Flows
Out-of-box → Activated
First success (task done)
Update (firmware)
Troubleshoot → Return
Acceptance Checks (Given-When-Then)
Given 1 m drop on each face ×10, when rebooted, then self-test passes and boots < 5s.
Given enclosure at IP54 test, when exposed to dust/splash, then no ingress.
Given duty cycle X for __ hours, then battery SOC ≥ __%.
Given BLE RSSI −85 dBm, when command sent, then control latency ≤ 200 ms.

.
Privacy & Data
Default: telemetry stored locally; cloud only with explicit opt-in. Retention: __ days if opted-in.
Tokens + Cost (if any AI on-device)
Tokens-per-workflow: ≤ __k
Cost-per-workflow: ≤ $.
Routing: small on-device model for anomaly; escalate to cloud model only if confidence < __.
Launch Gates
EVT exit, DVT exit, PVT readiness; pilot sample size; GA criteria.
