  It seems like the prototype stage, or even before, is a good time to ask whether the materials are plentiful enough for this to be a major discovery or just a curiosity.

  The difference here is that leaving would come with a severance package. Offering the same kind of severance package that a company would normally give during layoffs, but allowing people to selectively take it seems like a very reasonable way to handle reducing payroll.

  I imagine that, if not enough people take the offer, they might then have layoffs so this seems like a pretty humane and nice way to handle a tough situation.
