Commercial feasibility asks whether funding is available to pay for all work required to deliver the entire project. It differs from the business case: valuable work may still lack available funding. section 3.1
Assess commercial feasibility alongside the conditions that make a project executable:
- Estimate the value mechanism—such as savings, revenue gains, or quality-of-life improvement—to clarify why funding should be assigned. section 3.1
- Check whether funding covers the complete delivery effort rather than only an attractive initial phase. section 3.1
- Confirm that technical means, data resources, and a utilization method can support execution and adoption after funding is available. section 3.1
Figure 3.1 The project’s drivers (Business Priority and Business Case), the supporting components (Sufficient Funding, Technical Means, and Data Resource), and enablers (Utilization Method).
Use the project-drivers diagram to relate business priority and business case to sufficient funding, technical means, data resources, and utilization method. section 3.1
