Hardware & fulfillment

Thesis pillar 2 — connected physical distribution. TacTile manufactures, pre-programs and ships branded NFC and QR hardware at 80–85% margin. Had no workstream at all despite being a core pillar. Note: the in-app Shop is explicitly NOT a launch feature, so the buying path needs deciding.

## The brief on file

Matthew — select and confirm suppliers for TacTile hardware (NFC PVC cards, keychains, wristbands, stickers, magnets, tokens, pens, wood/acrylic QR products) at real order volumes, with firm pricing. The business plan's COGS figures (tactile_physical_products_full_economics.docx, Section 06 appendix) are explicitly "planning estimates based on prior hardware research," anchored to Tagstand, Seritag, Fellers, CutterPros, DIY Craft Warehouse, and Roland DGA product listings — none are confirmed supplier relationships or negotiated contracts. Done when: a primary supplier is locked per product category with real quoted pricing at the order size Matthew intends to place first, superseding the planning-stage cost assumptions.

## How to work this

- Do the work, don't just plan it. If the fix is obvious and safe, make it.
- Surface anything needing Matthew's sign-off instead of deciding it yourself.
- Short replies. Lead with the answer, then stop.
- Finish by saying what changed, what you verified, and what you'd do next.
