What Happens When You Take a $1M Tool and Make It $100K?

What happens when you take a $1M tool and make it $100K?

You don't just make it cheaper — you change who gets to innovate.

In this Miracle, Repeated conversation with Eduardo Torrealba from Lumafield, we talked about what happens when you democratize deep technology — in their case, turning CT scanning from a million-dollar lab instrument into something product teams can actually use.

The Power of Democratization

  • Cutting cost by an order of magnitude
  • Unlocking 10× more engineers and designers to use it
  • Shifting how hardware teams validate and learn

The Same Pattern for Knowledge

At EverCurrent, we think about this same pattern — not for hardware, but for knowledge.

When decisions, changes, and insights are scattered across CAD, Jira, Drive, Slack, and email, only a few people can see the full picture.

Lowering that “cost of access” is how we make better engineering visible to everyone.

It's the same spirit: when you make context accessible, innovation compounds.
