A Proposal for
T-Jams

The product is targeted at everyday consumers across workplace, commuting, fitness, and general lifestyle use cases. The value proposition centres on safety and convenience: users can enjoy personal audio without the isolation and hearing risks associated with in-ear or over-ear devices.

The product is currently at idea and concept stage. A Provisional Patent Application was filed in September 2023 (PPA No. 63/585,727), followed by a Non-Provisional Utility Patent Application filed in September 2024 (Application No. 18/897,919). The invention is patent pending. Concept renders and a product portfolio have been prepared, but no prototype, CAD files, engineering documentation, or bill of materials currently exist.

The target retail price is USD $30 to $40, positioning this as a mass market consumer electronics product at a Walmart-level price point. Target manufacturing cost is approximately $10 per unit. Full product development is required from R&D through to mass production manufacture.

The Route to Market Plan (RTMP) is a paid strategic planning engagement that precedes any development work. It maps the exact pathway from the current concept stage through to mass production manufacture.

Duration: Approximately 4 to 6 working weeks from confirmation. The RTMP Launch Phase consists of five core deliverables, each designed to give you complete clarity on cost, timeline, and the development programme before any execution begins.

The Launch Phase runs across five structured steps, each building on the last:

The RTMP Launch Phase fee covers all five deliverables listed above including all research, technical assessment, reporting, and coordination. The following are excluded and would be scoped and costed within the RTMP document itself:

• –Industrial design and CAD development work.
• –Electronics development (PCB design, firmware, Bluetooth integration, speaker driver integration).
• –Prototyping, sampling, and physical testing.
• –Tooling and mould costs.
• –Certification and compliance testing (FCC, CE, Bluetooth SIG/BQB, etc.).
• –Shipping costs for physical samples or prototypes.
• –Mass production and assembly costs.
• –Packaging design and production.
• –Visit facilitation, factory accompaniment, and travel expenses (separately scoped and chargeable if required).

Scope Changes: If requirements change materially during the RTMP process or additional product variants are introduced, we will adjust both cost and timeline accordingly and agree any changes before proceeding.

Quotation Accuracy: The Indicative Product Quotation delivered as part of the RTMP is subject to the 'level of readiness for manufacture'. At idea/concept stage, initial pricing will be indicative and will be refined as the development phases progress.

Technical Feasibility: Certain requirements including Bluetooth stereo pairing between two separate speaker units, achieving adequate acoustic performance from a compact housing, battery life targets, and the clip mechanism design carry meaningful engineering complexity. The RTMP will assess the feasibility, cost implications, and any trade-offs associated with these requirements and present options for your decision.

Certification: As a wireless Bluetooth consumer electronics product, T-Jams will require FCC (USA), CE (if targeting international markets), and Bluetooth SIG qualification (BQB). The RTMP will outline the full certification pathway, expected costs, and timeline implications.

IP Ownership: All CAD files, tooling, Gerber files, and bill of materials developed during the project will be owned by the client on completion of the relevant development phase.

Timelines: The 4 to 6 week estimate is based on the current scope and assumes reasonable availability for the launch call and any follow up discussions needed during the review process.
