Distributive Enterprise

A distributive enterprise, according to OSE Standards - is an enterprise that follows OSE Specifications, and explicitly so by maintaining the replication of such an enterprise by others at the core of its operational strategy. This means that the enterprise, in its essential design, has a mechanisms for training others to replicate the same. For example, at Factor e Farm, we are explicitly creating the practical training option - where fabricators-in-training are encouraged to help us in production runs in exchange for learning to start their own enterprise. Our goal is to provide the production training, fabrication optimization, organizational insights, open business model, and other documentation to make this happen as part of the transition to Economy 2.0

Note

We'd like to monetize our work by leveraging the contribution of plans into the open by others. Our preferred business model is sharing design, so we can all produce and monetize by real production. The hope is that we truly remove material constraintsfrom determining the well-being of humans, as production is no longer an issue of control and power. I can't foresee this occurring from non-distributive enterprise models.

The simple numbers are to demonstrate clearly that the power of such a distributive enterprise is easily $100k/person/year, whether in Berkeley or Gabon. I think we are well on our way to showing that, and we only have one full product release of 50.
