商务英语 — order：没有客户名的订单，还不是 backlog
order 要有谁买、多少台、何时交付。plan 是计划。deployed 是已经放出去的。三者不能写成同一个 backlog。

释义
order：订单。要能回答谁、多少、何时交。星尘的千台级说法，三项都缺。
A plan to deploy is not an order. A test-site multiple is not company revenue.
A round size that was not disclosed cannot be filled with a valuation.
例句
The founder described thousand-unit orders. The article did not name the buyers.
About 300 coffee robots are a plan, not a delivered order.
The Pre-A amount was not disclosed. Do not invent it from the valuation.
- ✓ order：订单
- ✓ backlog：已签约未交付的积压
- ✓ deployment：已经放出去的台数
- ✓ plan：计划
点评
英文备忘录里看到 orders，先补 buyer 和 delivery。补不上，就写成 the founder said，不要写成 we have backlog。
练习
把这句写成英文：上百台是已部署的说法，300台是计划，千台没有客户名。
参考：About a hundred units are described as deployed. Three hundred are a plan. The thousand-unit orders name no buyer.
今天就能做的一件事
英文材料里每个 order 只留一种状态：deployed、signed、planned。留不下的，把数字从标题拿掉。

常见问题
thousand-unit orders 能不能写成 backlog？
不能。backlog 通常要有客户、数量和交付状态。文章只说多笔千台级订单，没有这三项。它最多是 an unnamed order claim。
