Product-Unit Model¶
Introduction¶
The project adopts a unit-composition methodology, similar to BUFM.
Each "Product-Unit" is a minimal, identifiable commercial element—either:
- A physical product (e.g., battery, charger, vehicle)
- A service-based product (e.g., subscription, swap credit, warranty extension)
- A deposit-based entitlement (e.g., asset pool access)
Each Product-Unit must be fully defined across five dimensions:
- Product-Unit — the discrete commercial object itself
- Product-Unit Value — why this unit exists commercially
- Product-Unit Context — dependencies required for function
- Product-Unit Obligations — operational duties when sold
- Product-Unit Costs — all costs mapped to obligations and value delivery
Why Unit-Composition?¶
- Clarity in pricing, contracts, channel activities, and customer interactions
- Traceability through operational workflows
- Modular bundling and flexible offerings
- Alignment with Odoo, OVApp, and IoT systems
