About Fairness
How to avoid niggling in negotiation, by keeping principles fair and simple such as 50/50 revenue share?
More
- Minimum value created from individual effort, accounted per individuals working as a team, or individuals in solitary work - 50% worker revenue, 50% OSE revenue
- 'Revenue' refers to 'net revenue', which is the most important from an enterprise perspective.
- OSE covers training and all operating costs.
- Projections - 500 hours with AR assist. It may be that AR assist is required to achieve 500 hr.
- Each person can build 4 houses in one year according to this model. Under this secenario, net revenue per house must be $16.4k with $32.80 starting pay for graduates. $66k starting. The Revenue Model Scanarios call for $25k, so AR-assist share generated per builder is $100k. Incentive structure can be set up where an individual captures value under a 50/50 ratio, as soon as they achieve productivity milestones. If it is 4 houses, they get $66k, + 50% of new value created. New value created is half the $34k (excess value above) - so a bonus of $17k, or $83k. It may be interesting to condition this upon risk-share. What if business isn't good? Worker should share both upside and downside - as long as general trend is good pay. The downside is well-mitigated - as model is robust. B
Land Development
- Intent - inject life-work and land use integration into any development. Efficiency and profit position OSE exceptionally well in this role, even to the point of adding Network State integration
- All improvements are shared 50% between the 2 parties involved based on a fair algorithm.
- Ex - Negotiation of project pay for a whole development with a Collaborator - basic 50/50 means: We create a baseline upon what the next competitor would cost. That is our starting pay potential. We divide the benefit of cost reduction 50/50. For example: OSE can do it for $100k. Another guy can do it for $200k (developer still charges their usual profit). Working with OSE 50/50 upside agreement - we charge less than the $200k developer (so that we can get the business). Our starting premise is a lower cost home with ecological features (and potential reinvestment into agrihood enterprise, local waste water, etc), and 36x speed improvement per house. Irresistible offer. End point looks like $150k for OSE. This looks like a suboptimal deal principles-wise. OSE is making $50k, and Collaborator made an extra $50k. But the Collaborator is making a profit upon this - say a standard 25% or $50k. OSE should get half that profit in a true 50/50 scenario - for a total of $75k for the developer, $75k for OSE. This sounds fair in principle: we shared 50% of our upside, which is our lower build cost. They shared 50% of their upside. They made 50% more, we made 50% more. Regarding costs - such as if they got the land and did grading - this would have to be shared.
- Ideal future scenario - OSE does the site work etc.
- Above is mostly 50/50, but does not address land cost or grading.
- Is there a better way? How about if hard cost of land and earthworks is passed onto the customer?
- Too complicated, how about simpler: we look at overall project cost and be transparent. Revenue is whatever the Collaborator sells for. OSE gets half the net, Collaborator gets the other. Therefore, we are working everywhere to maximize value, as upside is always shared. Simple as that. So we don't set any price - we risk share throughout. Their value add is putting up money, our value add is building homes. Can it be as simple as that? We don't have to worry about fairness, we agree to share half up front. The only question is fair representation of cost - ie, integrity in the partners. That is the only qeustion - and it's something that we get a feel for in the personal negotiation. Keeping it simple. This is consistent with Never Split the Difference.
