OSE Scaling Strategy

(last updated July 1, 2011)

The goal of OSE is to scale parallel development to the order of $150k/month funding level, in order to hire subject matter experts for prototyping of the various devices at a cost of about $15k/prototype, or $45k per product release (3 prototypes)

Accesssing $150k/month budget levels would allow us to run 10 project development efforts in parallel. Assuming that this is in place for January, 2012 - then 2012 would allow 40 products to be developed, assuming 3 month development cycles for each product.

The above does not consider the large-scale effort of producing high-quality documentation. See Documentation Standards. If this effort is done correctly, then we need a budget of another $1M to do this - with the assistance of 10 full time, technical writers/documentors to fill in this task.
