Opportunity Validation Tools

Financial Forecast

Our Opportunity Validation Tools provide a series of analytical and financial modelling templates to assess, validate and confirm the business viability of an innovation.  These tools are ideal for managers, proposal reviewers, incubation staff, commercialization officers and other evaluators.  They are also built for entrepreneurs to develop the quantitative aspect of their value proposition.

Assess the Opportunity

These business opportunity assessment tools use market-facing parameters to confirm the value proposition points discovered at the idea scoping stage. The toolkit includes spreadsheets, tables, graphs that capture data points from first-hand discussions with customers, partners, suppliers and other stakeholders in the business value ecosystem.

Use the Opportunity Validation Tools to:

VALIDATE
Confirm and refine the value proposition hypothesis developed during the idea scoping stage.

COLLABORATE
Both reviewers and innovators can collaborate to populate these tools.

QUANTIFY
These tools are driven by real numbers built out from conversations with customers, markets and partners.

ASSESS RISK
The toolkit allows you to assess risk in four areas: technology, market, customer and financial.

STREAMLINE
Accelerate the assessment of an opportunity with a streamlined due diligence process designed for early concept stage ideas.

Quickly obtain a snapshot of the business viability at the early stages of innovation!  Use the Opportunity Validation Toolkit to add the quantitative dimension to a business value proposition.

“I have used So what? who cares?
why you?®
as a workbook in a number of courses I teach in new Zealand and Australia. The book is practical, to the point and of great value in that the essential concepts of commercialization are presented in a way that can be readily used. Wendy has managed to strip the subject of all the myth and hype usually associated with turning ideas into businesses; the book is an essential teaching as well as a practice tool.”
