Executive Summary

A $1.2M net per year (CEM 1 level) enterprise that builds 24 houses per year (with 24 workers on each swarm build) that provides meaning via a lifelong learning opportunity as one builds affordable, ecological housing and learns skills of collaobrative development to transition the world from proprietary to collaborative development. This enterprise - at the level of a Collaborator serving as CEO of this operation - can be replicated via a 2-4 year training program (based on one's prior experience in enterprise and building things). The model ramps up to the stated revenue goal within 6 months of the entrepreneur receiving training (3 months recruiting, 3 months land acquisition and plan check). The design involves sending the enterprise on auto-pilot as the trained entrepreneur - the Collaborator - within 6 months of the first house build - pending acquisition of management skills to free up time for other pursuits of systems transformation. At the worker level - one gets the ability to get paid after 6 months of training, at $50/hr pending certification of ability. On the scalability front, the SEH Enterprise Core Module allows for rapid scalability (trillion dollar distributive unicorn based on the 1000x potential of open collaboration). Once the first Enterprise Module is developed, it can scale to additianal ones in a 2-4 year hands-on training program - with a starting cohort of 24 entrepreneurs (CEM 1) at the beginning of Y1 - building up to 200 by beginning of Y2 (CEM 2 level) - such that 200 new entrepreneurs are produced on a 5 year cycle assuming the conservative 4 year builder training. First 200 cohort is produced at Factor e Farm (FeF) . Each SEH Core Enterprise Module (CEM 1 level) thus grows to 10 build teams of 24 - or $12M net (CEM 2 level), in 5 years.. This adds up to $240M net in 5 years. See continuation at CEM PhD.

Assumptions

Working Assumptions for $1.2M Net Enterprise

  1. $10-16k tuition. Need scalable zero interest loan option.
  2. First 6 months - training period to $50/hr productivity, while building housing to hedge bets. But it could take 6-18 months, depending on one's capacity
  3. Apprentice starts getting paid $50/hr pending competency exams, with 20 hours paid work hours per week and rest being voluntary education
  4. Education is self-selection for growth - to set your own pay if continue track.
  5. Upon passing exam, the Apprentice shifts to 50% learning time - with 20 hours work, 20 hours learning each week. The focus is on learning how to think and learning the art of possibility, as a foundation for problemsolving towards a better world. Thus, we are at core an education organization cross subsidized by work, addressing a critical need in society: forming accurate mental models of reality.
  6. Some may take up to 2 years to get to full productivity, in which case they are subsidized by sales revenue.
  7. Onboarding first 2 week crash course - build your own microhouse
  8. At end of Y1, person walks away with $24k paid if they got certified in month 6 - otherwise it would be later. Considering tuition - one can come out ahead at end of Y1, making this scalable if tuition zero interest loans are available.
  9. Estimated $60k materials, $50k labor (1000 hrs), $15k land, $5-15k connections. FSBO word of mouth only. All-in build cost $130-145k - sales price of $180k-$195k.

Working Assumptions for $12M and $288M Modules

  • Swarm builds produce houses on a time scale of 1 hr/sf (1000 hrs combined for the base Rosebud Model) - 5 days with 24 people. 4 houses at one time mean addressability of lazy inspection schedule (3 days)
  • CEM 1 Level 0 First Core Enterprise module (CEM) - 6 months to $1.2M once first cohort of Builder Track starts. Best scenario is competency in 6 months, worst case is 2 years.
  • CEM 2 Level - 18 months to $12M, with core facility expanded from 24 to 240 builders (10x gets us to max capacity of Factor e Farm, theOSE International Headquarters). Low risk (zero flight risk/culture fit risk) as this is trail-blazing by OSE leadership.
  • CEM 3 Level - At 18 months, the Enterprise Track is started, initial cohort of 24. 18 month minimum training time. Thus at end of Y3, there are 24 Entrepreneurs, each brining in $12M. Each entrepreneur gains a facility of 240 builders in 18 months - which is a blazing fast onboarding time that would require tremendous HR capacity (see Optimized Recruiting). Thus training is about operations management: land acquisition, solar facility construction, and operational startup. Thus, the Enterprise Track yields startup of a $288M enterperise at end of Y3. Best case is 18 months, worst case is 3 years. For an individual defecting from the OSE ecosystem, the time required is 2-5 years to attain the $1.2M level (6 months builder training, 18 months enterprise training).

Why

  1. Solve housing - with digital housing 2.0. Coordinate a global effort of collaboration - best house at the lowest possible cost means that we take housing out of the realm of scarcity. Also addressing political issues, such as land access, by building new villages worldwide. Such as urban block redevelopment, eco-housing subdivisions, etc. If animals don't have a problem with housing, humans shouldn't either.
  2. Net Energy Production - each house can power itself, and even export energy if operated in a smart way.
  3. World peace - by training people (5760 people or 240*24 in 3 years) - and multiplying this in a modular way - we train significant numbers of people in nonviolent productivity. This has the potential to reduce resource conflicts by providing livelihoods, which in turn provide products built from abundant materials and using abundant energy (PV). Reduction in resource geopolitics comes from the planned transition to renewable energy (solar hydrogen), and using common materials such as earth for CEBs, plastic waste for abundant recycling into construction materials, rocks to make solar concrete, etc - pushing the envelope on common materials processed with advanced, open source technology on a distributed scale.
  4. Financial Independence - The 3 year Enterprise program enables anyone to walk away with financial independence, able to run their own business at $1.2M net (for extraordinary performers - others will take longer).

Questions

  • Initially I thought that we just train people and put them into the wild, but now the shift is towards stronger ties with OSE as the skill set produced is priceless and would serve OSE's goals with continuity. Of course there will be defectors, and the system is designed to emit 20% and keep the rest in general - effectively once with OSE - we provide a lifelong learning program. Is this too restrictive, as others would want to 'do their own thing'? How to reconcile 'do their own thing' with long-term OSE growth and continuity given OSE's intent to solve all Pressing World Issues within 2 decades of SEH Enterprise Module startup?
