	Note that we assume that the unpaid individuals - those, in particular, with full commitment - must qualify as what is best dubbed ''independently wealthy''. These individuals are those who have free time because they do not have to work to make a living. These individuals could be ones who either have big savings, low expenditures, or both - such as monied individuals, voluntary simplicity followers, the unemployed, or those who do not have significant costs of living because of their particular situations.

	1. '''High Value'''. We start with the stated goal as the definition of value: ''The approach of this project is to identify a small but comprehensive infrastructure base of robust, widely applicable solutions for living and working such that transforming the world is a byproduct.'' The intent is to produce a replicable business model for a number of successful and optimized enterprises, by which individuals may engage in [[right livelihood]]] activity as defined in previous sections. This approach has clear value.		1. '''High Value'''.

This approach has clear value.

	2. '''Practicality'''. A replicable business model for optimized enterprises is definitely achievable. We simply take existing enterprise models, work to optimize them, and release the knowhow in the open source to make it replicable. If the enterprise model is one that is successfully engaged by others, then it will be even more profitable if optimization adds further value. The key is to adapt progressive, ecological enterprise to the type of profit margins that are quite attractive to individuals, while ensuring that principles of right livelihood are followed. Specifically, the particular enterprises in the small but comprehensive infrastructure base must achieve a high Right Livelihood Selection Score in order to be included in the set of choices that collaborators agree to develop. This score automatically ensures the high potential impact for the transformative nature of enterprise deployment.		2. '''Practicality'''.

	The first step in aligning a dedicated and voluntary team of developers is to recognize that such a team is available. Normally, the success of gathering collaboration is unquestioned, yet, in this case, it is instructive to raise the question whether such collaborators exist because we are looking for full commitment from unpaid individuals, and on top of that, for a project that is far beyond the norms of established society.
