2x — failed to deploy, mission lost

4x — early operation error, 6mo lifetime

3x — lower performance, 3 year lifetime

1x — mission successful, 10 year lifetime

…do we get a better deal building them with larger faults, at a lower cost?

A lot of expense is in developing technologies, assembly tooling, and test rigs — all of which is easier if we don’t need them to be as assured because only 1 in 10 needs to succeed.
