			=Introduction=
			Open Source Ecology is entering a phase of pilot projects. At present, the tractor, brick press, Power Cube, and soil pulverizer are machines that are suggested for replication as pilot projects. Pilot projects are intended to test OSE equipment in real working conditions, and are intended to pave the way to distrubuted production as well as to taking these machines to market on a broader scale. We favor establishing local production as a form of an open franschise, which would be intended as a partnership between the local community and OSE. OSE's interest is developing an open source product development pipeline funded by pilot projects that evolve into self-sustaining businesses. We are working on a business model for this open franchise.

	*Fabrication costs. Preferably, a local team builds the machine. In such a case, an experienced Production Director (from OSE or trained by OSE) can lead a production run with relatively unskilled people who have at a minimum of basic tool use experience. If an OSE person is required to lead the production run, their time and travel need to be covered. There needs to be access to a [[Basic Workshop]] or [[Basic Advanced Workshop]]. A local build requires access to electricity. In one advanced route, all parts can be cut via CNC Torch Table or laser cutter and local assembly/welding can happen. With CNC, production times are on the order of a 1-2 days. With manual production, production times are on the order of 1-2 weeks - both with a team of either 4 skilled people or 8+ unskilled people under the guidance of a professional.		*Fabrication costs.

			*Project kickstarting - typically, it's useful to have the Executive Director of Open Source Ecology or another core member of OSE make an initial visit to make the proper connections and spark the appropriate interest.
