Intro

The questionnaire below can be used to determine whether a product meets the OSE specifications. Each question counts as 1 or 0 depending on a positive or negative answer. There are 45 questions. The score is communicated on a scale of 0-100 in percent units by taking the tallied score, dividing by 45, and multiplying by 100.

For OSE relevance - 50% achieves a high level of relevance to OSE goals. Near 100% scores, as long as the design is open source hardware and software - qualifies for a deliberate effort of collaboration.
