Sounds like your business model is managed hosting of the open source project.

Is that subject to change?

Are you planning on additional revenue streams (like open core)?

Are you aware of the incentives with the managed hosting model? If not, it is that you're incentivised to make it harder to install, so people choose your hosting and to make it harder to move to self-hosted, so people can't leave. How do you plan to mitigate those issues?

Are you planning on adding something like whitelabeling, which would allow other companies to also sell Openship hosting, competing with your hosting? Would you prevent someone from contributing that to the main codebase?
