A common Synapse question (or some variation of) is "What happens to the data if Sage runs out of funding?"

In the FAQ, we could address:

  • technical preservation details
  • long term fiscal plan
  • business continuity plan (? if relevant)

Here is an example of what is (at least to me) a good answer:

https://help.osf.io/hc/en-us/articles/360019737894-FAQs#what-if-you-run-out-of-funding-what-happens-to-my-data

COS established a $250,000 preservation fund for hosted data in the event that COS had to curtail or close its offices. If activated, the preservation fund will preserve and maintain read access to hosted data. This fund is sufficient for 50+ years of read access hosting at present costs. COS will incorporate growth of the preservation fund as part of its funding model as data storage scales. For information about OSF backups and technical preservation details, see the OSF Backup and Preservation Policy.
