Interface ideas for using a Subsidiary to produce budget versions of products

[xeyednkrazy]

My situation:
I have a subsidiary that only focuses on budget versions of products.
The parent company is doing all the research and is the leader in the market.
To keep the subsidiary focusing on the lower end of the market, I've been using product customization to create a version with lower tech. The subsidiary produces that version.
To keep pace with increases in tech, I'm having to repeatedly re-sell my tech for EVERY product to the subsidiary, bump the tech level for that customized product, then go to EVERY subsidiary manufacturing unit to bump their tech. It definitely kills some of the fun.

A few ideas:
How about a bulk sell option. Have a price toggle for each line, with an approval flag indicating if it will be accepted. Then bulk sell.

Adjust the tech level being sold, instead of always the full tech. This would allow us to avoid the entire product customization process for lower-end products. We select what level of tech we want to transfer, the subsidiary auto-upgrades their manufacturing tech levels. They'll always upgrade to whatever level of tech you've decided to provide.

EVEN BETTER!:
Allow the option to select target quality levels for each product a subsidiary is selling. You can sell them your entire tech and they would only apply it sufficient to maintain that target level. If you want a product in the market that's a consistent 70, they would periodically auto-upgrade only enough to maintain that quality rating. This would DRAMATICALLY reduce the tedious parts of owning both high end and low end consumers.
