<<When you couple these strategic consideration with a negative Altman Z factor, you see a company risking its life on the line that indeed the launch of the portable battery will be successful.>>

Zeev, of course the company is risking its life on the success of this battery, that's been a fact since day one. They have no other product - this battery will make 'em or break 'em. But after most likely testing hundreds of thousands of samples (I recall that SM attendees saw the serial number 115,000+ on one sample) the company probably has a pretty good idea what the performance of the battery is by now, so the "dip a toe in the water" approach may not be necessary. More likely they will start production at a lower rate in terms of units/minute, ramping up as experience is gained. This would still allow them to accept a large contract from the start.
