 # Introduction
 
-This is a page describing a proposed mass-volume SoC (minimum 1 million
-units for commercial viability).  It outlines:
+This is a page describing a proposed mass-volume SoC.  It outlines:
 
-* the NREs involved (realistically USD $12m)
+* the NREs involved (realistically USD $7m, with headroom up to $12m preferred)
 * proposes a fair market price (around $12-13)
 * estimates a manufacturing cost (around $3.50 to $4)
 * realistic industry-standard timescales (12-18 months).
 
-Several ways in which this may be achieved include:
+On that basis it indicates that commercial viability is possible if the
+quantities ordered are over 1 million units.
+Several ways in which the NREs may be covered in order to be viable include:
 
 * VC investors (typically requires multiple LOIs and customer committments)
 * European Union Grants (such as [SiPearl](https://www.eenewsanalog.com/news/european-processor-startup-gets-eu62-million-kickstart-grant) and the [EPI](https://www.european-processor-initiative.eu/dissemination-material/epi-consortium-members-list/) )
