When deployed as full product ecologies (construction set product ecosystem with Deep Modularity) - then the savings is 10x. Combined with lifetime design (open design, high level of part Degeneracy, Design for Disassembly, simple part sourcing, Robust Design - then savings are 10x value increase by 10x life extension. Thus, 1% the cost of industry standards.
