Documentation is not paperwork for its own sake; on leak prevention it is the difference between a clean clearance and a delayed one.
Why leak prevention matters on the Autopod 3
Consistent filling torque and proper sealing rings remove most transit leaks.
The most common mistake is optimising for the first order instead of the fourth, which is where Autopod 3 economics actually settle.

Commercial terms
Lead times are a function of component availability as much as factory capacity, so buffers should reflect both.
Freight terms should be named explicitly, because an unclear incoterm is the fastest way to lose a relationship.

|---|---|---|
| Carton (183 units) | Tier 1 | 14-21 days |
| Pallet (546 units) | Tier 2 | 30-45 days |
| Container (12960 units) | Tier 3 | 7-12 days |
