The factory produces three families of unit. All three move through the same seven stations; each is measured with different gauges.

Why one line beats three processes

A separate process per product type triples the standard work and lets discipline decay in whichever process runs least often. One line with adjustable gauges means every unit — a five-line skill or a full agent — passes the same stations, carries the same work-order shape, and earns the same kind of certificate. The family changes what the gauges measure, never whether the gauges run. The family is declared at intake: the work-order schema requires it, and the intake linter rejects an order that does not name one.

The flywheel measure

The factory’s reuse target — more than half of each agent’s bill of materials drawn from the registry rather than fabricated bespoke — becomes measurable here: percent of the BOM from standard parts versus custom fabrication. Rising reuse is the interchangeable-parts flywheel working: every certified skill makes the next agent cheaper to build and easier to trust.
