An idea worth investigating.

Understand what would need to be true for an idea to work before committing to a launch or major project.

A familiar starting point

Does this sound like your situation?

“Would this new service solve a problem people pay to address?”

“Could we adapt our existing capability for a different customer group?”

“What should we establish before investing in this idea?”

The work

From an open question to a defined next step.

  1. Define the intended customer, problem and proposed offer.

  2. Research comparable offerings, substitutes and visible market signals.

  3. Map delivery requirements, cost assumptions and operational dependencies.

  4. Identify the smallest useful test and the evidence needed to proceed.

Your deliverables

Something useful to work with.

  • An initial feasibility brief grounded in accessible evidence
  • A list of assumptions and the questions that could change the conclusion
  • A staged validation plan with proceed, revise or stop decision points

The final scope, deliverables, timing and fee are agreed before work begins.

Evidence & boundaries

Know where the research ends.

Desk research cannot establish willingness to pay on its own. Customer interviews, prototypes or a paid pilot may be needed. Cost and demand estimates are labelled as assumptions unless supported by reliable evidence.

Findings distinguish source-backed facts, analysis and unanswered questions. We recommend further checks where the evidence does not support a firm conclusion.
