Pending / upcoming actions

  • ⏰ UrgentSecure the Schick PO to unlock CAD + prototype spend.
  • ⏰ UrgentReissue the $8,100 engineering quote (aligned to Komodo).
  • Reissue the aligned engineering quote ($8,100) via Xero.
  • Secure a Schick PO confirming approval to proceed.
  • Complete engineering, then issue the prototype quotation.
  • Build 6 prototypes (2 of each) once PO is in.

Where it stands: A new Edgewell female system razor (codename Komodo) built around the proprietary BOA cartridge connector. The customer has decided to proceed with BOA only for the next round of CAD + prototypes and has run a consumer test (Leger, Feb 2026). Centreline has quoted $8,100 engineering (same as the Komodo range), with a prototype quote (6 units, 2 of each) to follow. The project is moving but gated on a Schick PO confirming approval to start the spend.

Recent timeline

  • 16–24 Jun 2026 — Komodo part files shared; CAD/prototype thread ongoing.
  • 3 Jun — Customer picks BOA only; Centreline quotes $8,100 eng + prototypes to follow.
  • Apr–May — Vitech tooling quotes; Komodo price matrix; patent drawings stamped.
  • Mar — Engineering + Komodo CAD + animation storyboard; JDA Addendum 7.
  • Feb — Leger BOA consumer test.
  • Aug–Dec 2025 — Brief, concepts, bayonet/BOA concept finalisation.

Sentiment

Customer — Edgewell
Committed to the BOA direction and consumer-tested it; moving to prototypes. Positive but gated by internal approval/PO before GSA can spend.
Factory — Vitech
Engaged — quoting pilot and production tooling for the Komodo/Arihel handles (new-factory onboarding).

Risks

  • PO / payment lag stresses cashflow to Centreline.
  • BOA vs HALO scope creep; tooling cost.
  • IP handling (Komodo patent) — keep stamped drawings controlled.
