+# Business Objectives
 
-we are creating a full libre architected  hybrid CPU/VPU/GPU for manufacturers who need security through full transparency of ssoftware and hardware, with greatly reduced RTL licensing costs, unlike other chips in this field which have unauditable architectures and proprietary drivers.
+we are creating a full libre architected hybrid CPU/VPU/GPU for manufacturers who need security through full transparency of ssoftware and hardware, with greatly reduced RTL licensing costs, unlike other chips in this field which have unauditable architectures and proprietary drivers.
 
-* Because both 3D and VPU hardware and software are fully transparent, application devrlopment time and debugging complexity is massively reduced.
+* the project shall be a hybrid CPU-GPU-VPU
+* the project shall be commercial and mass-volume (100 million units
+  and above)
+* the project shall be entirely transparent so that end-users will be
+  able to trust it
+* the source code shall be available at all times for all components
+  for BUSINESS reasons, making development and use of SDKs dead simple
+  and aiding and assisting developers AND BUSINESSES in debugging and thus
+  hugely saving them money.
+
+Reasoning:
+
+* If the processor is not a hybrid CPU-GPU-VPU, the
+  complexity involved in developing a split shared-memory CPU-GPU both
+  at a hardware and a software level will be so costly it will jeapordise
+  the project.
+* The project is commercial and mass-volume because there are plenty
+  of academic designs (none of them reaching production where people
+  may benefit), and "Open" designs, created by the Open Hardware
+  Community, sadly due to the high cost of producing ASICs, tend to be
+  focussed on markets that would have been great about twenty to thirty
+  years ago.
+* Transparency is a key business objective.  It is a Unique Selling Point
+  that the processor is developed in a fashion that, should it be
+  independently audited, no opportunity for spying back-door co-processors
+  will be found to have "made their way surreptitiously - or overtly -
+  into the design".  Yes, GCHQ: I know about the conversation you had
+  with nCipher (and, to their everlasting credit, that they told you
+  to take a hike)
+
+* Because both 3D and VPU hardware and software are fully transparent, application development time and debugging complexity is massively reduced.
 * the chip design is being created in commonly-available programming languages, making it easier to understand.
 * the development follows libre project management principles meaning that there  is a full audit trail for maintenance and audit purposes.
 * the formal proofs make testing and trust much easier.
