A range review that ignores oem and odm programs will often produce a confident decision and a disappointing quarter on the Autopod GT.
Seasonality interacts with oem and odm programs more than most forecasts allow for, so a rolling review beats an annual one.
Why oem and odm programs matters on the Autopod GT
ODM suits buyers with a fixed specification; OEM suits those starting from an existing platform.
Freight consolidation changes the answer to oem and odm programs at container scale, which is why small and large buyers reach different conclusions.
Tooling, artwork and certification lead times should be planned at least a quarter ahead.
