Hardware Product One-Pager (Spec Shelf)

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.


Instrumentation & Events

  • device_boot, self_test_pass/fail, drop_event_detected, battery_soc, fw_update_success/fail.


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.
