DESKTOP STUDY AND REQUIREMENT VALIDATION
Getting the first stage right is critical. Early mistakes in a project that may involve significant investment can create bigger problems later on. One of the biggest risks is being “too close” to the situation, which can make decisions feel less objective.
Take outsourcing, for example: a sudden price spike might tempt you to bring production in-house. That could be the right move — but if the increase is caused by a raw material shortage, you’ll face the same challenge yourself.
This is where we add value. By applying independent, third-party objectivity, we can review your plan using the information you share with us. We’ll confirm if it can be done and, if so, outline how. We’ll also provide a ball-park estimate, along with potential red flags and roadblocks you should be aware of before moving forward.
IN SUMMARY, THE DESKTOP STUDY INCLUDES:
- Requirement validation
- Exploring alternative options
- Ball-park estimate
- Identifying red flags and roadblocks
Once you’ve reviewed the Desktop Study outcomes and they indicate the project is viable, we move on to Stage Two: more detailed survey.
