OSE Logic Model

The approach of OSE is to trace the history of human evolution in terms of building infrastructures from the ground up. This means that we start with primitive technology and evolve from there to modern, appropriate technology. This implies that we will cover all sectors of infrastructure development with focus on low barries, low cost, efficiency - and from there - when basic needs are met, we move on to what people call 'normal.' This is under the assumption that development resources are limited. Wherever possible, we use the most effective methods without being swayed by current vogue. We look into heirloom technology - technology that has been proven to work. We focus on access from local resources. Applications are those of appropriate, responsible development in the industrialized and non-industrialized worlds. We do not want to make compromises on using certain broken but widely accepted infrastructures of civilization without examining more deeply which of these infrastructures are responsible. We pride ourselves on our ethic, and intend to create such access for the common man, not only for the privileged.

The basic logic model relies on building effective infrastructure machines. More specifically - we build Open source machines at 5x lower cost that meet or exceed industry standards wile embodying simplicity, modularity, and lifetime design that that make these machines 50x more cost effective over their entire life cycle. We let the applications of this speak for themselves.

Our business model is Collaborative Production.

Further, the premise of our work in human transformation, where machines are a means to that end - the 51 st machine is the Integrated Human. This means that we intend to change peoples' perspectives and lifestyles towards responsibility - by setting an ethical example.
