- cost must be reasonable, if expensive - anything over something like $2,000 is going to severely limit your customer pool. A semi-automated manufacturing line will help with this
- for good measure, a crack marketing team
Another consideration is that the BCI industry is moving insanely fast. By the time you set up a production line and start mass-producing, there might be news about a novel much-better process that overshadows your product and destroys sales. This is effectively what happened with VR in 2012-2018 when everything was super expensive; only as of recent can you recommend an Index or Quest 2 to people without fearing a huge leap in VR quality to be coming in the near future.
