Induction-Grade Automation
About
About hiring and transitioning from founder to institution without becoming institutionalized.
OSE is transitioning from a founder-centric system to an institution-centric system without bureaucratizing intelligence or slowing innovation. That is the problem most organizations fail to solve.

For May 1, 2026 - we need to set up process.
If a system cannot automatically generate dimensional drawings, BOMs, and executable build instructions from a single source of truth, it is not induction-grade.
Hiring
| Hire (Role) | Start (Target) | FTE | Monthly Cost (Est.) | Primary Function |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Canonical Scribe (Systems Scribe) | Now / ASAP | 1.0 | $6k–8k | Freeze canon: standards, protocols, definitions; eliminate ambiguity; publish single source of truth |
| Induction Ops Lead (Program Ops) | ~2 weeks after Scribe (by mid-Feb) | 0.75–1.0 | $5k–7k | Run registration/onboarding/scheduling; enforce no-DM policy; handle participant flow for FBCC/CEI/EFI |
| Build Systems Lead | By early March | 1.0 | $7k–9k | Own May 1 performance proof: expertise-embedded workflows, sequencing, measurement, facilitator playbooks |
| Facilitators (2–3 part-time) | By mid-April (2–3 weeks pre–May 1) | PT | $2k–4k (per month/event window) | Run floor flow during FBCC/Swarm Build; coordinate groups (facilitation, not supervision) |
Budget Summary (Estimated)
| Period | Assumption | Total Cost Range |
|---|---|---|
| Pre–May 1 staffing burn | ~2.5 months average burn (Scribe + Ops + Build Lead ramp + facilitators late) | $50k–$75k |
| Operating reserve / contingency | Materials, tooling, travel, overruns (recommended) | $10k–$25k |
| Total Pre–May 1 Budget | staffing + contingency | $60k–$100k |
9000 SF Building: Drywall + Insulation Cost (Concept Estimate)
Note: drywall and insulation are priced per square foot of surface area (walls/ceilings), not per floor area. A 9000 SF building typically has ~2x–4x floor area in drywall/insulation surface depending on ceiling height and partitions.
Installed unit costs (Jan 2026 baseline):
- Drywall install: $2.26–$2.69 per SF of wall/ceiling surface (Homewyse)
- Batt wall insulation install: $1.67–$2.76 per SF of wall surface (Homewyse)
| Surface Area Multiplier (vs. 9000 SF floor) | Assumed Drywall/Insulation Surface (SF) | Drywall Cost Range | Insulation Cost Range | Combined Range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2.0x (open shell, minimal partitions) | 18,000 | $40,680–$48,420 | $30,060–$49,680 | $70,740–$98,100 |
| 3.0x (moderate partitions / typical buildout) | 27,000 | $61,020–$72,630 | $45,090–$74,520 | $106,110–$147,150 |
| 4.0x (many rooms, high partition density) | 36,000 | $81,360–$96,840 | $60,120–$99,360 | $141,480–$196,200 |
Exclusions (these can be major):
- Framing, blocking, and hangers
- Vapor/air barrier detailing, tape/caulk continuity
- Level 4/5 finish upgrades, sound/fire assemblies, specialty board
- Painting, texture, trim, doors
- Ceiling grid, acoustic tile, MEP rough-in impacts, lifts/scaffolding, difficult access

90-Day Induction Rollout Gantt (Now → May 1)
Phase 1: Canonical Foundation (Weeks 1–2)
| Task | Owner | Output | Founder Involvement |
|---|---|---|---|
| Define canonical claim (apprenticeship → induction) | You + CES | 1-page Canonical Statement | High (decisions only) |
| Define supervision vs facilitation standard | You + CES | Written protocol | High |
| Define performance proof criteria (speed, quality) | You + BSL | Metrics definition | High |
| Draft Induction glossary (terms locked) | CES | Canonical glossary | Low |
| Kill ambiguous language (training, apprenticeship) | CES | Language audit | None |
Critical dependency: No recruiting or marketing before this is locked.
---
Phase 2: FFCC Architecture & Content (Weeks 2–4)
| Task | Owner | Output | Founder Involvement |
|---|---|---|---|
| FFCC syllabus (online) | IPL | Week-long structure | Review only |
| Record 2–3 core talks (vision, induction) | You | Video assets | Medium (time-boxed) |
| Design FFCC written assignments | IPL + CES | Filtering mechanism | None |
| Define routing rubric (Commons / CET / EFT) | CES | Decision matrix | Low |
| Set no-DM / public Q&A policy | IPL | Governance doc | None |
Goal: FFCC can run without you live.
---
Phase 3: Swarm Build Systemization (Weeks 3–6)
| Task | Owner | Output | Founder Involvement |
|---|---|---|---|
| Select May 1 build scope | BSL | Defined build target | Review |
| Break build into expertise-embedded modules | BSL | Modular workflow | Review |
| Define facilitator role (not supervisor) | CES | Role spec | Low |
| Create build-time measurement protocol | BSL | Timing + QA checklist | Review |
| Dry-run build flow internally | BSL + Facilitators | Rehearsal data | None |
