You see parts every day. Maybe you make them. They come with a small stack of certs that you add to. You figure nobody will notice if you do a special process yourself and copy a cert. 500 parts or 501? Maybe 510? Maybe you buy material with no certs, but you verify the conductivity and hardness. You know it's the right alloy, but it was cheaper. Who's going to notice? Once you get started, where do you stop?

I'd love to see a breaking bad style dram based on this haha.

It'd be kind of amusing. You could just have a few people in on it and they make it work. Then one of the quality peeps notices some quantities are off. Maybe mix in some source/delegated source or pay off some FAA dfars.

It would basically be the story told through the eyes of Madrigal corporate executives.
