Stage 1: Idea Spark
You have a strong vision but no clear manufacturing path.
Stage 2: Concept & Feasibility
Unsure if the idea can be made, how much it will cost, or how long it will take.
Stage 3: Prototype Validation
No technical drawings. Worried about wasting money on the wrong direction.
Stage 4: Mold Development
Fear of committing to expensive tooling before validating the market.
Stage 5: Production
Concern about quality consistency, IP protection, and scaling without huge inventory risk.
