Note: the following defines desirable end-states of each Value Offering.

$20k/month Collaborative Production Model

What you get:

  • $100/hour for 10-40 hours per month
  • Immersion Training on practical skills + Psychology of Transcendence via practical skills
  • Liberation from indoctrination on productivity limits of humanity
  • Ability to replicate this model, with potential social marketing assistance from OSE
    • Starting with CEB Press, moving to Tractor, CEB Press, CNC Circuit Mill, Hydraulic Power Unit, and others.
  • Being part of a high-energy, distributive enterprise movement incubator

What you give:

  • 80-95% of your energy for open source economic development (~20 days per month outside of the 5-15% of your time in production runs)


What it takes:

  • 500-1000 human hours of enterprise development, shakedown, and optimization
  • Developing, documenting, and producing Immersion Training curriculum for the production model
  • Another 1000-8000 human hours of Development Time for ancillary equipment (Ironworker Machine, CNC Torch Table, Oxyhydrogen Cutter, CNC Circuit Mill, Welder, Plasma Cutter, Stepper Motor Controller, Inverter, Nickel-Iron Batteries)

Risk Sharing and Responsibility:

  • OSE provides social marketing and product design
  • Production Director organizes the production run
  • Apprentices help in the production run as volunteers
  • FeF staff are funded via such production with 5-15% of their time spent in production

Resource Requirements

  • 8 workshop bays for 1 day per production run
  • 8 people
  • Machine pre-order
  • 16-24kW of industrial power at one time

Note: Shifting from production run to R&D mode needs to be accomplished readily.
