feasibilitynotes

Feasibility notes are concise documents that capture the outcomes of a feasibility study, summarizing whether a proposed project or initiative should proceed. They describe the analytical methods used, key findings, assumptions, and constraints that informed the decision. Feasibility notes serve as a lightweight alternative to full feasibility reports, often used in early project stages or in organizations with limited resources. They typically include a brief project description, objectives, scope, and the core questions addressed: is the project technically possible, economically viable, legally compliant, operationally feasible, and strategically aligned? The notes also present an executive summary of findings, a risk assessment, and recommended next steps, such as detailed analysis, pilot testing, or project abandonment. Feasibility notes are most valuable for stakeholders who need quick insights to decide on further investment. They are commonly used in government contracting, corporate strategy, and startup environments to filter ideas before committing to extensive research. The practice encourages efficient decision making and reduces time to market for viable projects, while ensuring that critical feasibility criteria are formally documented.
