OSE Goals Filter
About
Evaluate all OSE engagement through it. Anyone can produce an assessment via an AI automated evaluation process.
Parse OSE Specifications, GVCS, OSE Model of Change, design of Iconic OSE Campus, Solar Breeder, Regenerative PV Project, Metacrisis Solutions Filter, and The OSE Story and derive a filter with conditions for evaluating potential OSE engagement.
To facilitate rollout sequencing, we must also use the OSE Priorities Filter.
And - the OSE Collaboration Readiness Filter - which distinguishes between development and deployment.
OSE Engagement Evaluation Filter
This filter is used to evaluate any proposed OSE engagement, including:
- Enterprise proposals
- Collaborations and partnerships
- Grants and funding opportunities
- Product-development projects
- Research and development initiatives
- Educational programs
- Campus projects
- Technology deployments
- Strategic relationships
- Public communications or campaigns
For each question, the evaluator should provide:
- A written response
- Supporting evidence
- A score, where applicable
- Any conditions that must be met before approval
Scoring Scale
| Score | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 0 | No evidence, directly conflicts with the criterion, or the question has not been addressed. |
| 1 | Weak alignment; the response is primarily aspirational and lacks a credible implementation mechanism. |
| 2 | Partial alignment; some relevant provisions exist, but major deficiencies or uncertainties remain. |
| 3 | Acceptable alignment; a credible plan, responsible party, and measurable outcome are identified. |
| 4 | Strong alignment; the proposal includes evidence, implementation details, measurable targets, and risk controls. |
| 5 | Exemplary alignment; the proposal advances OSE practice, produces reusable public assets, and is designed for replication and systemic impact. |

| # | Evaluation Area | Question to Ask | Condition of Satisfaction | Required Evidence | Type |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Mission alignment | How does this engagement contribute to the creation of an open source economy? | The response identifies a direct and credible relationship between the engagement and the development of open, collaborative, locally productive, and distributive economic capacity. The claimed contribution is specific, material, and measurable rather than merely rhetorical. | Written theory of change; defined outputs; intended beneficiaries; measurable mission outcome. | Mandatory gate |
| 2 | Regenerative civilization | Does the engagement help create a regenerative alternative to an extractive, destructive, or scarcity-producing system? | The proposal identifies the existing system-level problem, explains the regenerative alternative being created, and demonstrates that it addresses root causes rather than only treating symptoms. | Problem statement; systems analysis; comparison with the incumbent model; intended regenerative outcomes. | Mandatory gate |
| 3 | Artificial scarcity | Does the engagement reduce artificial scarcity, or could it create new restrictions, dependencies, or exclusion? | The engagement expands access to knowledge, tools, productive capacity, resources, or opportunity. It does not depend on planned obsolescence, information restriction, monopoly control, unnecessary credential barriers, or artificial limitation of supply. | Access model; pricing model; licensing terms; dependency analysis; barriers-to-entry analysis. | Mandatory gate |
| 4 | Open-source commitment | Will all core knowledge generated through the engagement be published under an OSE-compatible open license? | Core designs, source files, processes, research, instructional materials, enterprise methods, and other replication-critical information are legally and practically available for use, study, modification, and redistribution. | Proposed licenses; publication plan; list of public deliverables; identification of any exceptions. | Mandatory gate |

Automatic Rejection Conditions
An engagement should normally be rejected if any of the following conditions applies and cannot be corrected before approval:
- The proposal lacks defined deliverables, responsible parties, success metrics, or a risk-management process.
- It does not materially advance the creation of an open source economy.
- Core outputs cannot be released under an OSE-compatible open license.
- A partner can suppress publication, prevent replication, or claim exclusive control over core work.
- The engagement depends materially on trade secrecy or artificial scarcity.
- It concentrates ownership, agency, or productive power without a credible distributive mechanism.
- It creates an unreasonable risk of violence, exploitation, ecological destruction, or harm.
- Material safety risks have not been evaluated and controlled.
- OSE cannot leave the engagement without unacceptable legal, financial, technical, or mission lock-in.
- The engagement would materially damage OSE's independence, credibility, or ability to continue its mission.
Conditional Approval
An engagement may be approved conditionally when it passes all mandatory gates but requires specific corrective actions.
Conditions should be written in the following form:
| Required Condition | Responsible Party | Evidence Required | Deadline | Consequence if Not Met |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Example: Publish all design source files and the complete bill of materials under an approved open license. | Project lead | Public repository reviewed by OSE | Before prototype funding is released | Engagement is suspended or rejected |
Recommended Decision Method
- Evaluate every mandatory gate.
- Reject or return for revision any proposal that fails a mandatory gate.
- Score all applicable scored questions from 0 to 5.
- Mark non-applicable criteria as "N/A" and explain why they do not apply.
- Record uncertainties, missing evidence, dissenting assessments, and required conditions.
- Calculate the average score only from applicable scored questions.
- Do not use a high average score to override a failed mandatory gate.
- Publish the evaluation where confidentiality or legitimate personal-data restrictions do not prevent publication.
Decision Thresholds
| Decision | Minimum Condition |
|---|---|
| Reject | One or more mandatory gates fail and cannot be corrected without changing the fundamental nature of the engagement. |
| Return for revision | The proposal may be compatible with OSE, but evidence is incomplete, risks are unresolved, or operational requirements are undefined. |
| Conditional approval | All mandatory gates pass, the average applicable score is at least 3.0, and specific deficiencies can be corrected through enforceable conditions. |
| Approve | All mandatory gates pass, the average applicable score is at least 4.0, no applicable scored category is below 2, and collaboration risk is acceptable. |
| Priority engagement | All approval conditions are met, the average applicable score is at least 4.5, and the engagement creates exceptional open, distributive, regenerative, and replicable strategic value. |
