Why Seconds Exist Letter is four paragraphs signed by the QC lead. The first names the rate: about 4% of each batch fails final inspection, almost all of it finish. The second lays out the three options: landfill, outlet middlemen who would strip the story, or sell them ourselves with the flaw named. The third explains the choice. The fourth gives the honest volume: “about 30 pieces a quarter, sometimes fewer.” Maya signs it with her role and the date.
There are no data arrays, the letter is composed prose. The volume stated honestly and the last line about quality problems landing on her desk first are what give the letter its weight.
Reach for this block above the seconds grid as the founding rationale for the program. The volume figure must be kept current and the signatory must be the actual QC lead, not a brand persona.
