This calculation holds no info at all. we need to build - at least - 200 devices to make fab operate in (semi) economic range.
It would differ if we had a donated value of >700EUR per donor, then we actually could talk about "excess money".

right, this was nonsense from not having slept last night.

the 'excess' i was thinking about {and still not a meaningful concept} would be better calculated as 36,230-151*100=>21130-25000=> -3870.
if that number were positive and large, then you could divide it into fake preorders, assuming everything else goes perfectly.
