03 / THE ENGINE
The Loop
It improves itself.
Every cycle, the factory rewrites the factory. Output becomes tooling; the curve bends inward.
Recursion
Each shipped thing makes the next thing faster to ship. The factory turns its own output into better tools for itself — the line upgrades the line.
Level 5
It sets its own goals inside the direction we give it. We supply intent, not labor. The factory decides how to get there.
Compounding
Over a twelve-month season, a loop that gets faster every cycle is the difference between a demo and a category. Speed compounds. That is the whole bet.

Now we point the factory at founders.
