We're probably going to sound like every other incompetent startup

So instead of giving you corporate speak-
|
- we want to show you exactly what's happening with your pre-order – the good, the challenging, and the exciting developments.
First, here's what your product looks like right now:

When we started this journey- |
-we planned to manufacture overseas. But here's the reality we faced: Chinese manufacturers require minimum order quantities in addition to tooling that are beyond our current pre-orders. Instead of giving up, taking on massive debt, or allowing an investor to take advantage of our early struggles, we got creative. We've transformed our garage in North Las Vegas into a mini-factory.
We've invested in multiple resin printers - allowing us to modify and test design improvements in a fraction of the time it would take had we gone overseas. We've installed a CO2 laser cutter, and been accepted as wholesale purchaser of Fleshlight, Now the official sleeve insert of the Orifice. It's not the conventional path, but it's allowing us to build your Orifice without cutting corners.

We now inspect and assemble every unit
• We've created a flexible production line that can scale with demand
• Most important, we can ensure your Orifice will last for years, not months
Here's a glimpse into our current manufacturing process:

On the software side, we've made progress. We've deployed our unrestricted language model to the cloud - a major milestone - and we're now focused on building the consumer-ready experience around it. For audio generation, we're developing a flexible solution that will give you control over your experience.
We're also developing enhanced features for when you connect to your computer.

|
|
• Fine-tuning our resin printing parameters for optimal results
• Streamlining our laser cutting workflow

|
The Challenge (and Why We Need 3 More Months): Setting up a production facility from scratch isn't easy. While our prototype exceeded expectations, scaling up revealed opportunities to make your Orifice better.
|
|
|
• Implementing quality control steps at each production stage
• Building the consumer software interface and update system
• Developing our audio integration and computer connectivity features
• Testing and refining the full user experience
