OSE Specification Review

The OSE Specification Review is a translation of OSE Specifications for the specific needs of a given product. This Review, together with other Background and Research steps - allow for the formulation of product Requirements.

The start of product design is marked by defining clear Requirements. To define the Requirements, one starts by taking the OSE Specifications, and specifying point by point how they can apply to the design project at hand. Then one considers the Product Ecology for how a product fits within a greater product system - which is essential to the nature of the GVCS as a minimum set and a Universal Constructor. After considering the product ecology, one then examines the Genealogy - or past designs from which the current design is derived. Then one relates the desired qualities to those used by the mainstream status quo via a study of Industry Standards. Then, by considering How It Works and further Background Reading and Background Research - all under the broad umbrella of OSE Design Framework, the Requirements can be defined.

The goal of applying the OSE Specifications to product design is to align the direction of multiple stakeholders.
