I feel like Make-to-stock is definitely not the answer since it’s more about producing for inventory rather than customization.

Engineer-to-order - the option for those who want their products to be as unique as their personalities. 'Sorry, we don't have that in stock. But we can build you a one-of-a-kind time machine, if you'd like.'
