Anyone can claim any production capacity they like. But it's meaningless until they actually produce something.

It's like if you apply for a job, "I can produce 1,250 hoodgiflops a day!" the potential employer will say, "Hmmm, okay, we'll try you out and see..."

Scotty says to Captain Kirk, "we can do warp 9.5 Skipper........ but not for long, we'll blow up".
