SI-1Double contribution margin from precision valve assemblies in three years without doubling complexity.SI-2Quote-to-ship under 10 working days for the vital-few product families.SI-3First-pass yield of 97% or better on the vital-few families.
Front-to-Back 80/20 Approved evidence
Front-to-Back 80/20 analysis · synthetic ERP extract, first half of 2026. Edit the shares or how each figure is known; the vital few recalculate (smallest set of families reaching 80% of margin).
| Family | Share of products (%) | Share of contribution margin (%) | How it is known |
|---|---|---|---|
F-A Precision valve assemblies · vital few | ERP margin by family | ||
F-B Custom manifold blocks · vital few | ERP margin by family | ||
F-C Standard fittings | ERP margin by family | ||
F-D Legacy spares | ERP margin by family |
E-1Families A and B are 27% of products and 81% of contribution margin. ObservedE-2The top 12 customers buy 79% of Family A margin. ObservedE-3Family B demand will grow once quoting capacity is freed. Inferred · to validate
