    FittBite Episode 299: Why Your AI Tech Pack Is Costing You Money

    In today's FittBite, we explore how AI-generated tech packs can create production risk when visual mockups, unvalidated measurements, fabric ranges, and broad construction notes are treated as final specifications. The FittBite covers the difference between a concept document and a controlled production tech pack, including points of measurement, fabric approval, construction decisions, factory capability, sample validation, and ownership of each technical detail. Tune in before sending an AI-generated tech pack to a factory.

    In today's FittBite, we outline five product types that new activewear founders should approach carefully before launching.
