The method

Build a staged path through cost

Break a long-term adoption goal into deliverable stages.

When to use it

  • New technology is costly and early customers differ from mass-market users.

Ask yourself

  • The technology is expensive. How do we start?

Put it into action

  • Define early customers, willingness to pay, current costs, and the evidence required for the next cost reduction. Do not book future scale benefits today.

Keep these limits in mind

  • Premium-first is not universal. Historical prices or schedules are not promises already fulfilled today.
