Project Drogheda Helgen CTO 2026-06-20 Draft

Drogheda — Financials (🔴 RED ITEM — placeholder)

Placeholder. Finance is a tracked red item for Drogheda; the detailed work happens in a separate Claude conversation. This stub holds the structure and the open questions so the project doesn't lose the thread. Fill in as numbers land. Pricing/margins are internal — do not export to client-facing Drive folders.

Why it's red

The project is scaling to hundreds of cabinets across four BUs with a hard 30-units-by-August target, while mid-crisis on reliability. Cost, cashflow, and margin are as much a risk as the thermal/backend issues — and currently un-modeled here.

What goes here (to fill in)

  • Unit economics — per-variant cost → price → margin (the BOM cost rollup already exists: 03-Architecture-Hardware/BOM-master; HBOX ≈ 8,041 MXN + 24 V cabinet ≈ 6,365 MXN). Add the sell price + %.
  • Quote vs cost — Helgen vs alternate-supplier ("Israel") deltas already in the BOM sheet; decide sourcing and lock landed cost.
  • Per-BU rollup — ICAVE / TIMSA / EIT / LCT unit counts × unit cost/price → revenue + COGS per terminal (counts live in the component sheet).
  • Cashflow / billing — milestone billing vs delivery; deposit terms; currency (MXN/USD components — Ardusimple/Phoenix are USD-priced).
  • Burn / runway — hackathon + rework + PCB NRE + pilot batch.
  • Base-station + infra — AS-PRO-CORS base station, SIM/data plans (Telcel per-unit), server/caster hosting.
  • Warranty / rework reserve — the field-failure rework is a real cost line.

Open questions

  • Target gross margin per unit? Current implied margin from the sheet?
  • Who owns the finance model (Adriana?) and where is the canonical sheet?
  • MXN vs USD reporting; FX assumption.
