The Execution Gap in Hardware: Why No Model, Pitch Deck, or Simulation Is Enough

In software, iteration is fast. In hardware, mistakes are permanent. A software bug can be fixed overnight; a hardware flaw ships, breaks in the field, and can take years and millions of dollars to correct. Yet despite this fundamental difference, early-stage hardware and autonomy companies are still evaluated using frameworks borrowed almost entirely from the […]
