Agree that the social service mission is a real value many seek - that value is intended to be captured in Social Good. Also agree that revenue streams don't necessarily capture all the value. However, one thing I want to emphasize is that Revenue Streams focus on realized value as opposed to potential value - a bit like the difference between inventory and actual sold goods. So while I think changing Revenue to Revenue and Value Streams has potential I want to emphasize that block is all about realized value - while inventory has potential value that value isn't realized until its sold. A marketing channel promoting high quality OER sounds more like a channel to customers or a key resource and would usually be seen as an expense not a revenue or realized value. So for me, at least right now, I'd need to see more examples of a non revenue value stream to really get on board with this idea.

Ok, thanks for that insight, Paul - a useful distinction between realised and potential value (agree that marketing is a cost, not revenue). Listing it in a channel to customers or key resource... *rubs chin* will have to ponder the ontological implications :)
