Here is a list of the steps taken for this project:
Collection of industry professional interviews, development of a known problem, target consumer, and value proposition.
10 simulated tests to support our problem consisting of surveys and focus groups, leading to an in class presentation of one of our tests.
Market opportunity analysis, assessing the problem, solution, competitors, and unique value proposition.
