Default scenario dated 7 November 2026.

A stacked mass bar shows 42 kilograms retained, two kilograms supplied through reconditioning and sixteen kilograms of new modules in a sixty kilogram serviced robot.
Fixed worked exampleIn the worked overhaul, a 60 kg robot retains 42 kg. Its 18 kg module allowance can include 2 kg of reconditioned parts and 16 kg of newly supplied material. One million such jobs therefore need 16,000 tonnes of new modules while retaining 42,000 tonnes of equipment.Sovereign Capacity Lab calculations prepared for Luke Nathan Hayes · 7 November 2026 · Strange But True Public Source Licence · Source · Credits and details · Open full-size image
