Test the idea before building the whole thing.
A company is considering a new service. Sales sees demand, development proposes building the product, and the leader wants to understand the cost first. Each suggestion is reasonable, but nobody has agreed which assumption needs to be tested before the others.
General approach
Where we could start
Clarify the goal, assemble the available evidence and identify unanswered questions. Define a small test: the work involved, its participants, constraints and the evidence needed to decide whether to continue.
What you would have
A defined first test and a basis for deciding what comes next, without premature commitments.
Who needs to be involved
The requester, responsible participants and the specialists the task requires.
Roles and decisions
Scope and authority are agreed for the task. Relevant specialists provide technical and professional assessments.
This is a starting point for a conversation. We would check the approach against your task.
