spectrum B is Greg’s current choice
Greg wrote: “The Belly Box to be supported for Outokumpu is the HBC Spectrum B,” linked the official product page, and later used that model across the proposal options. Open Slack citation

“WHATEVER BOX I SPECIFIED” MEANS SPECTRUM B
Greg’s written specification is unambiguous: he named the HBC spectrum B as “the Belly Box to be supported,” then used spectrum B throughout the proposal options. His current edited reply is best read as reaffirming that authored specification—not identifying the model in the customer photos.
Decision Matrix
WHAT THE EVIDENCE ACTUALLY SUPPORTS
Page 8 follows that specification
Genevieve said page 8 names HBC spectrum B and that she has been using it. Greg reacted +1. In this thread, that confirms “whatever box I specified” refers to spectrum B. Open thread citation
Greg previously identified spectrum 2
After reviewing the customer photos, Greg wrote: “Most likely exact model: spectrum 2, custom crane transmitter.” That is direct evidence against treating spectrum B as the photographed unit. Open Slack citation
The meetings never name spectrum B
The available 25-page Fireflies transcript says “their controller” and “same controls.” It never names spectrum B or spectrum 2. The follow-up Fireflies record is currently inaccessible to the authorized API identity.

THE CUSTOMER’S INTENT IS CONTROLLER-SPECIFIC
“They have to run those from a belly box on the floor. So there’s a lot of walking.”

“We can take their controller and use that as the input device.”
GREG MEYERS · FORGEFX · 26:17
Same meeting; transcript wording says “their controller,” not a new HBC model.
“Yeah, that would be fine. The generic’s fine as long as we have the same controls. Right. Because it’s the muscle memory that I’m looking for.”
DENINA ANDERSON · OUTOKUMPU · 26:43
This is the strongest customer quote for the visual and hardware decision.
“My recommendation probably would be to start with something where you could get the most value, like the crane simulator and have us just build the connectivity from the belly pack to the software.”
GREG MEYERS · FORGEFX · 29:43
The pilot concept assumes physical belly-pack connectivity.
Interpretation: the meeting supports using Outokumpu’s controller and matching its controls, but does not establish the model. Spectrum B entered the record later through Greg’s internal specification. Therefore spectrum B is valid as the current proposal choice, but remains unverified—and potentially wrong—as an identification of the customer’s existing hardware.

Practical Direction
USE SPECTRUM B FOR THE CURRENT PROPOSAL—FLAG THE HARDWARE MISMATCH
- What Greg meant: “whatever box I specified” resolves to HBC spectrum B. His explicit spectrum B post, repeated proposal wording, and +1 on Genevieve’s page-8 explanation support that reading.
- What is not proven: there is no customer or Fireflies quote naming spectrum B. The customer photos show a different-looking HBC “spectrum” controller, and Greg previously called it “most likely” spectrum 2/custom.
- What Genevieve should do: if the art is meant to follow the authored proposal, revise it to the current spectrum B reference. If the art is meant to depict Outokumpu’s existing controller, use the supplied photos instead. Those are presently two different targets.
- Before hardware commitment: obtain a readable nameplate photo or written model confirmation from Outokumpu. Until then, describe spectrum B as the proposed/specified unit—not the confirmed customer unit.
