potential users be persuaded of the product's
benefits? (This will show the clarity and purpose of
the offering.)

benefits? (This will show if people are prepared to pay an
appropriate price for the new product.)

will be made on the basis of the research:

providing some financial guidelines to work within. It also helps researchers to work
on providing the best solution within your means
8. Existing research or other information

research is done. It also means that covering old ground can be avoided, and this
research builds on what is already known
