The plan for which customers receive engineering or customer samples, how many, of which revision, when, and with what support and documentation.
Plan Work product in the Fabless startup chip lifecycle, the MEMS and sensors lifecycle and the RF and mmWave product lifecycle
Samples are scarce early on and each one should move a customer toward a design win. The plan allocates parts deliberately and makes sure customers get the right documentation, including known errata. Without it, samples go to whoever asks first, customers evaluate parts without knowing their limits and feedback is lost.
