Why storage and shelf life matters on the Meta Mini

Commercial terms
Lead times are a function of component availability as much as factory capacity, so buffers should reflect both.
Most long running accounts settle into a rhythm of monthly top ups with one larger seasonal build per year.

|---|---|---|
| Carton (173 units) | Tier 1 | 21-30 days |
| Pallet (1831 units) | Tier 2 | 14-21 days |
| Container (8069 units) | Tier 3 | 14-21 days |
