Summary

Products exists on 6 levels:

  1. House per se
  2. XE Hackathon
  3. Enterprise training
  4. OSE chapters training
  5. Supporting machines - printer + tractor
  6. Technical school - building for hire, custom building, machine building
  7. Documentation - coffee table book + Enterprise Manual
  8. Mentoring - Bristol-inspired mentoring to break through mental barriers to self-determination. Spiritual Psychology
  9. Transformation - we train people to Think C - think collaboratively. People end up writing collaboration standards (protocols) during the Hackathon.

House Per Se

A low cost, high value house that is easy to build for inexperienced people.

Specifics:

  1. Lowest possible cost to customer. Customer pays for materials. We invite customers to collaborate and help us find better material options at all times. If there is something better, faster, cheaper - we welcome feedback to improve the product.
  2. Off grid energy option
  3. Off-grid integrated food and waste management system
  4. Aquaponic greenhouse option
  5. Microfactory option - garage scale with 3D printers, plastic recycling, lathe, welder, and CNC torch. + Hand tools.

Enterprise Training

One central theme is how we add value so collaborators continue to contribute to a pool of knowledge so everyone benefits. Ie - retention so that movement swells, as opposed to high turnover. Specifics that we could optimize are:

  1. Feedback loop - venue for getting answers to your questions from the community. Technical community manager on the enterprise side. Forums - one for users - one for developers. Developer communitu is view only, unless you qualify.
  2. Annual conference - great community and vision building time
  3. Webinars - 2-way accessible only to members, 1-way by everyone else
  4. Enterprise webinar - open to distributive entreprise enterprise/tech developers only on specific roadmap only
  5. Coaching - on business problems, dedicated by staff
  6. Access to datasets - staff to hire, builder to hire, recommendation of local builders.
  7. Data collection - full specifications and various test, comparisons, productivity data, application notes
  8. application notes - publishing ways to use a machine or product
  9. Marketing channels - from podcast placement services, to video production support, to email lists and lists of marketing venues, OSE can help make sales not a part of the bottleneck
  10. Distribution channels - from OSE website, OSES, expertise in using existing platforms, YouTube or video channel, podcast,
  11. Marketing assets - producing product brochures, product photo shoots, graphics, social media posts, stickers
  12. Producer certification - OSE label placed on each product. Define a certification process for each product
  13. Website design - turnkey website production and hosting.
  14. Production support - turnkey production facility design, visual factory design, open source production machines, workflows. Inventory management system. Automation development. Production facility development.
  15. Construction support - need a Microfactory? We can provide a turnkey build of the structure, the machines that go inside, and the energy systems that power it. Nickel Iron Batteries may play a role in the OSE energy mix.
  16. Turnkey campus building - OSE coordinates to organize a Swarm Build (200 people, one week immersion workshop)
  17. Product development - all of us swarm on summer-long prototyping sessions. We teach skills, and we shift mindsets. This will be added as a part of the Summer of Extreme Design/Build

Basic Numbers

Intro

  1. We involve people to solve the housing issue for everybody: participants are expected to contribute know-how and experience
  2. We involve entrepreneurs as movement entrepreneurs solving Pressing World Issues
  3. The lowest-cost, most efficient, replicable housing that can be built DIY
  4. $50k for 1000 sf, built in one week. Disclaimer: builders spend 2-8 hours each weekend preparing for the week build by producing modules that are then assembled rapidly into place
  5. House is beautiful
  6. Focus on Seed Home - build a small core, then expand as your needs grow. Starting module is 1000 sf, but it can be as small as 256 sf for a complete system.
  7. Off-grid PV option
  8. Off-grid biodigester option.
