Notes on scaling. Acceptable model towards trillion dollar impact is education. Scaling of OSE Campuses, framed as edu facilities. This combines real estate, education, apprenticeship, Extreme Manufacturing, integrated existence. Includes some elements of FIRE economy, namely real estate, but also investment in the long term. Scale concept: each facility is a $10M operation - one that has a tight partnership/executive team of 2-5 people, and about 30 students. Each person generates on the order of $10k net value for the operation, and apprentices pay $10-20k per year of 'college tuition.' RAships allow for earning while in training. The model relies on the extreme market efficiency of Open Source. The core is Rapid Prototyping and Enterprise Training as part of a land stewardship program.
Operations involve in-training for every aspect of the campus, so that it is a true learning community. SMEs and experts abound for assistance. For example, site management is performed in a land management learning program capacity. Open source tools and knowledge make this feasible.
Back of the envelope numbers involve a teacher student ratio of 12:1, with extremely competitive admission for serious people, not those who want to go to college to party. This means exceptional students only, though this may be too difficult to achieve in practice.
