A distributive enterprise is one which maintains the replication of such an enterprise by others at the core of its operational strategy - in order to promote true distribution of wealth. Such an enterprise follows OSE Specifications for Distributive Economics. This means that the enterprise, in its essential design, has a mechanisms for training others to replicate a similar enterprise. For example, at Factor e Farm, we are explicitly creating the practical training option - where fabricators-in-training are encouraged to help us in production runs in exchange for learning to start their own enterprise. Our goal is to provide the production training, fabrication optimization, organizational insights, open business model, and other documentation to make this happen as part of the transition to Economy 2.0

Note

Our preferred business model is sharing design, so we can all produce and monetize by real production. The hope is that we truly remove material constraintsfrom determining the well-being of humans, as production is no longer an issue of control and power. I can't foresee this occurring from non-distributive enterprise models.

The simple numbers are to demonstrate clearly that the power of such a distributive enterprise is easily $100k/person/year, whether in Berkeley or Gabon. I think we are well on our way to showing that, even though we only have one full product release of 50.
