Because innovation typically faces opposition from the status quo - it is useful to explain things clearly to potential audiences of a new product in order to make the Value Proposition clear. To this end - it is useful to include a Frequently Asked Questions section in the development documentation. A good place to put this section is under the Value Proposition step of the product development process.

	~~Our work is designed to address the following social problems:~~		=Itroduction=

	~~'''~~The way society innovates''' - We are interested in developing open innovation as the standard by which society engages in its creativity on the economic playing field. By developing an open source product development pipeline, the [[~~Distributive Enterprise Platform~~]] - we aim to provide a platform that can increase the rate of innovation way beyond the limits of proprietary research and development. The copyright system limits people’s ability to improve upon or even use vital human innovation to solve serious human problems such as hunger and disease.		The general value proposition of OSE is discussed at the [[OSE Value Proposition]] page.

	~~'''Planned obsolescence'''~~ - ~~products are designed~~ to ~~have limited lifespans in order to improve profit margins for companies by creating conditions where people have to continue to spend money. Entire~~ product ~~service industries develop around this issue to profit off of people’s dependency~~.		For specific GVCS machines or products - the Value Proposition refers to a specific definition of what is new or worthwhile about the product we are proposing. What authentic value is OSE producing? This could be:

	~~'''Chronic unemployment and poverty''' - the United States~~ has ~~lost over 29%~~ of ~~its manufacturing sector jobs since its peak~~ in ~~1978 due~~ to the globalization of the labor market. Some developing nations have seen an increased ability to attract investments that lead to job creation, but we need to ask ourselves if these are the kinds of jobs we want for ourselves. Aside from a life of poverty or working for ~~unaccountable institutions~~, the ~~third option, the route of the entrepreneur,~~ has ~~been prohibitively expensive, and the risks are very high~~.		#What is new here? What has never been done? How is this different? How is this not simply rehashing millennia of prior human development? Novelty in OSE work can be subtle and may be invisible to the casual observer - for which reason, the novelty has to be made explicit.
			#What is the value compared to the industry standard baseline? Value compared to the industry standards may be a lower cost to performance ratio, longer product lifetime, better support, increased transparency, greater simplicity, increased ease of maintenance, and others.
	~~'''Enterprise development barriers are unnecessarily high''' - the cost of acquisition for industrial capital~~ is ~~prohibitively expensive. When businesses depend on capital for survival, and it breaks down, service costs can drive companies out of business.~~		#Integration and Ecology. Typically OSE is interested in complex product ecosystems (industrial and natural ecology, known as [[Open Source Ecology]]. Typically, OSE is interested in generating value by creating systems with a level of integration that has not been achieved before, to allow for synergies and efficiencie with minimal external inputs.

	~~'''Climate change and~~ the ~~destruction of natural ecosystems''' -~~ the ~~global system has taken risks~~ to ~~improve profitability and to concentrate power, and now~~ the ~~infrastructure that supports billions of lives is unacceptably instable due to~~ a ~~lack of political will in the face of climate change and the accelerated destruction of natural ecosystems. We need~~ to ~~rapidly deploy decentralized systems of agriculture~~, ~~manufacturing~~, ~~and clean energy production in order to reduce carbon emissions and develop social infrastructure that is resilient in the face~~ of ~~change~~ and ~~uncertainty~~.

	~~The GVCS products are cost-driven. This is true especially because of the modular nature of the entire GVCS - where standard components~~ and ~~modules interchange~~. ~~This~~ is ~~favorable for a unit of economic organization~~ (~~such~~ as ~~a large enterprise~~, a ~~municipal infrastructure department, or a new community) - where maintenance costs~~ of ~~a large equipment base are otherwise high or prohibitive.~~

	~~For the entrepreneur or maker, our materials costs are typically 5-10 times cheaper than the cost of turnkey~~, industrial products. This gap allows for a robust, cost-driven business model for the flexible fabricator market or maker. This is under the assumption of access to low-cost fabrication machinery and knowhow - to allow for ~~effective production. These low cost tools of production are part of the GVCS~~.
