 +Custom Branding
 +  * Use Audina manufacturer ID code for all products, but differentiate brands by scratch memory code (assigned at Audina internally).  Read this code to determine to whether give access to instrument settings.
 +    * Issue: Intuition 2 / Simplex 2P's circuit does not have enough scratch memory to support this feature. 
 +    * Suggestion: Phase out Intuition 2 / Simplex 2P (DigitalOne2 circuit) in favor of a Spin based product (Intuition 2FC) or SpinNR based product (Intuition 2ER).
 +
 +^ Product        ^ Cost (Custom) ^ Cost (BTE) ^ Avg MSRP  ^
 +| Intuition 2    | $52.71        | $85        | $225      |
 +| Intuition 2FC  | $55.21        | $85        | $250      |
 +| Intuition 2ER  | $56.21        | N/A        | $275      |
 +
 +  * Use a separate QC machine for branding instruments, then process the instrument as normal (with additional checks for correct branding).
 +  * Route all orders (from different brands) to a single database (i.e. using custom ezFIT software should point to same shared databased, to avoid having orders in separate databases).
 +  * Provide single-day registration code in the ezFIT software for dealing with issues out in the field.
 +
 +Algorithms
 +  * Prescriptions (and targets):
 +    * Implement Fitting Formula v.2, as currently used in ezFIT4.
 +    * Implement Fitting Formula v.3 for Intellio, and design formula for other products (retrofit them).
 +  * Autofits
 +    * Implement current ezFIT4 autofits that work well with Fitting Formula v.2.
 +    * Implement current ezFIT4 autofits used for Intellio that work well with Fitting Formula v.3.
 +
 +Solutions Guide
 +  * Implement current ezFIT4 Solutions Guide.
