How Viability Is Calculated
Each factor is scored 0–100. The viability percentage is (market demand + tech feasibility + financial return − risk) ÷ 3 × 10. The tool then returns a yes/no verdict using two rules: the first three factors average at least 50, and the risk level is at or below 70.
These thresholds are decision heuristics, not a formal scoring model, and are kept deliberately simple to match the original implementation. Treat the verdict as a first-pass screen before deeper analysis with Project ROI, EMV, or the Risk Matrix.
Why It Matters
A single viable-or-not verdict is a fast, defensible way to screen pre-investment ideas before committing effort to detailed financial modeling.
