There is no shortcut on oem and odm programs: the Prime 4 rewards preparation and punishes improvisation.
The most common mistake is optimising for the first order instead of the fourth, which is where Prime 4 economics actually settle.
Why oem and odm programs matters on the Prime 4
ODM suits buyers with a fixed specification; OEM suits those starting from an existing platform.
In practice the decision comes down to three numbers: unit cost, freight per unit and the realistic sell through rate for Prime 4.
Tooling, artwork and certification lead times should be planned at least a quarter ahead.
