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.

Budget

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	Run floor flow during FBCC/Swarm Build; coordinate groups (facilitation, not supervision)

Pre–May 1 Budget Summary (Estimated)

Category	Assumption	Cost Range
Staffing burn (pre–May 1)	~2.5 months avg (scribe + ops + build lead ramp + facilitators late)	$50k–$75k
Operating reserve / contingency	Materials, tooling, travel, overruns	$10k–$25k
Total Pre–May 1 Budget	staffing + contingency	$60k–$100k

9000 SF Building: Drywall + Insulation Cost (Concept Estimate)

Buildout Density	Surface Area (SF)	Combined Drywall + Insulation Range
Open / minimal partitions (2x)	~18,000	$70k–$100k
Moderate partitions (3x)	~27,000	$105k–$150k
Dense partitions (4x)	~36,000	$140k–$200k

Operations Staffing (Post–May 1, 6-Month Runway)

Role	FTE	Monthly Cost (Est.)	6-Month Cost	Function
Site Manager	1.0	$5k–7k	$30k–42k	Day-to-day site ops, safety, facilities, schedules, vendor coordination
Lead Cook / Kitchen Manager	1.0	$4k–5k	$24k–30k	Meal planning, food procurement, daily meals for participants/staff
Assistant Cook	0.5	$2k–2.5k	$12k–15k	Prep, cleanup, coverage, scale-up support
Instructors / Facilitators (core)	2.0	$4k–6k each	$48k–72k	Teach modules, guide builds, enforce standards (not supervision)
Part-time / visiting instructors	PT	$2k–3k	$12k–18k	Specialized topics, surge capacity

Operations Cost Summary (6 Months After May 1)

Category	Cost Range
Ops staffing (6 months)	$126k–177k
Food (ingredients only, ~30–40 people)	$4–6k / month → $24k–36k
Utilities, consumables, maintenance	$3–5k / month → $18k–30k
Insurance, compliance, misc ops	$2–3k / month → $12k–18k
Total 6-Month Ops Budget	$180k–260k

Full Budget Snapshot (Through 6 Months Post–May 1)

Phase	Cost Range
Pre–May 1 (staff + contingency)	$60k–100k
Building drywall + insulation (one-time)	$70k–200k
Post–May 1 ops (6 months)	$180k–260k
Total Program Capital Required	$310k–560k

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
