Introduction
We aim to set unprecedented standards of quality for documenting fabrication procedures for economically significant products related to Distributive Economics. To this end, we are setting a standard for documenting each step of a given fabrication procedure. Each step is defined as a small breakdown of a complete fabrication procedure, where each device such as the open source tractor would have on the order of 100 steps, and where each step is broken down to further sub-steps. The aim is to enable an individual with no prior experience to follow directions completely and succeed at completing a build.
This is relevant for one-at-a-time replication of OSE products, but it is even more important for successful implementation of the Distributive Economics business model. One way of implementing the Distributive Economics business model within a scalable, bootstrapping, low-capitalization enterprise is to leverage the labor of unskilled individuals via training for labor exchange on a volunteer basis. The trainer benefits from the value of the trainees' labor, and the trainee benefits from gaining powerful skills of production. The benefit to the trainee are rapid learning of art, OSE Spec techniques.
