1: What are the major strengths of the idea or solution?

2: The solution is revolutionary. It saves time, money, materials, and energy.

3: What are the major WEAKNESSES of the idea or solution?

4: The solution will require some major re-tooling. We will need to invest a lot of money in new infrastructure, but the payback time is less than 4 years.

5: How willing are you to invest the necessary time and energy to achieve the success of this idea?

6: The company and I are both deeply invested in seeing this new technology succeed, and are willing to invest all of our available time and money.

7: What are the conditions of your personal involvement? (What are your reservations?)

8: My personal involvement must be limited to no more than 45 hours per week, and no more than 30% of my net worth. I am concerned that a competitor could beat us to market and wipe out our investment.
