Ideagenerator & Wagner
Wagner
Ever thought about turning a classic craft into a startup—keeping its soul but racing to market? I'd love to sketch a roadmap that balances time, precision, and that old‑world charm.

Sure thing—think of a micro‑furnace line that prints vintage tiles on demand, so artisans keep the hand‑stitch feel but we ship in days. We’d build a B2B API so local makers pull designs, then a small warehouse does final glaze runs. Time‑boxing: prototype in two weeks, beta launch next month, full roll‑out by quarter three. Keep a lean team, a dashboard for quality, and a quarterly “heritage hackathon” to tweak the process. Let’s keep the soul intact while we sprint to market.

That’s a solid skeleton—nice the two‑week prototype, but keep the prototype as a proof of concept only; the real test is the glaze consistency. Make the API lock‑step with the quality dashboard so no batch slips past. The hackathon is great, just guard it against turning into a coffee‑only event.

Got it—prototype = concept demo, glaze control is the MVP. We’ll wire the API to push every batch to the dashboard, auto‑flag outliers. Add a micro‑inspection camera in the kiln line, feed AI scores back in real time. For the hand‑stitch vibe, we’ll hand‑pick a small artisanal batch to test the sensor data and tweak glaze ratios until the texture matches the hand‑stitched reference. Then lock the process and go full sprint.Ok.Okay, prototype demo only. We lock the API to the dashboard so every batch is checked.

Nice, tight enough to keep the hand‑stitched soul from slipping into bland. Just remember: the camera must see the glaze’s micro‑cracks, not just surface sheen. If the AI flags an outlier, drill down before you let the batch ship. Keep the artisanal test as a safety net, not a hobby. Once that baseline is locked, we can sprint—no compromises on quality.
