Business model breakdown
Buyer: who owns the budget?
UnverifiedHardware engineers and product teams needing rapid prototype parts; inferred from "Upload a STEP file" self-serve intake.
Trigger: what makes them buy now?
Wanting a CNC part quickly without email back-and-forth: "Skip the email tennis", "No mystery quotes", rapid turnaround from a San Francisco shop.
