Our founders have careers experimenting with, crafting, and refining a Strategic Product Development Methodology that uncovers and nurtures a culture of innovation. By focusing on understanding the human experience we create products that truly enhance people’s life’s and capture market opportunities. Outlined below chronicles steps and timeline in the creation of our innovative products.
1 : Explore
Start of our first discussions between CoFounders to discuss potential product categories to address for NewCo - objectives, functional parameters, user needs, competitive products & feature analysis to establish product attributes and a Platform for study. Investigate multiple concept designs addressing the objectives, goals, constraints, user orientation, market needs, to evaluate aesthetic, compartmentalization, and organization of tools.
Concepts explored
Competitive Analysis
Design alternatives & features reviewed and developed
2 : Design
Continued development, evolution, and refinement of viable directions in 2D sketches, CG modeling & renderings, building simple 3D form studies; including of unique panel configuration, usability, ‘new’ tool storage organization configuration, and their effects on the chosen design directions.
Product Matrix generated & preliminary targets are identified
Refinement - multiple feature configurations considered
Preliminary 2 & 3 dimensional volumetrics & improvements
3 : Validate + Document
Refinement of chosen designs and the generation of comprehensive documentation in a series of Tech Pack documentation; defining all dimensions, panel construction options, sewing techniques for our Production Vendor Partner to create an iterative series of physical pre-production sample prototype versions for evaluation.
Once selected a final detailed specification Tech Pack for the creation of the ‘Golden Sample ‘ for production gear bags and accessory items are generated.
Designs translated into techpack for prototyping - 3 initial rounds / 36 prototypes sampled & revised
Formal Techpack refine design - 2 more rounds creating 12 pre-production samples
Production specification Techpack to build first article 'golden sample'
4 : Promotion
Development of our Intellectual Property to protect our trademarks and pending patents for the brand, build awareness on social media to; build our community, drive interest, and gain the financial backing needed to launch Woven Granite.
Social media push to introduce products to market & gain following
Promotional offers for early adopters
Woven Granite ready for PreOrder
5 : Produce
February 20, 2024 - May 20, 2025
Covers any pre-production evaluation and refinements to all ‘Golden Sample Products’ with our Production Vendor Partner, Logistics Partner ensuring all detailing of the chosen product solution, and agreed upon project goals and deliverables are carried completely thru production to distribution.
Production begins with ‘First Article Production Sample’ that all produced goods will be judged against and established as Quality Control Article.
Final samples are evaluated utilizing all production fabrics
Golden sample defining all production details are approved
All materials, fabrics, and hardware items necessary for full production run ordered and 1st production begun
6 : Distribute
- RAINIER, SUMMIT S, & SUMMIT M ORAGAMI READY FOR SHIPMENT TO CUSTOMERS - BEGINNING JULY 04, 2025
- CASCADE, SUMMIT L & SUMMIT PANEL ANTICIPATED AVAILBILITY BETWEEN 2nd AND 3RD WEEK OF SEPTEMBER 2025
Multi step process of consumer ready products are individually packaged, protected, and boxed ready for shipment.
Our Logistics Partner takes possession from our Manufacture Vendor Partner in their country of origin and loaded on the container ship to be shipped to our US port in Los Angels, California.
