tkonsept

tkonsept is a term used in some Scandinavian contexts to denote an early-stage, technology-driven concept or plan for a project. The term is not widely standardized and may appear in different spellings or variants depending on language and organization. In practice, a tkonsept serves as a compact, cross-disciplinary description intended to align stakeholders on purpose, scope, and approach before more detailed design work begins.

A typical tkonsept document outlines the problem to be solved, the intended users or market, the core technical ideas, required resources, timelines, and criteria for success. Content may include a system overview, user scenarios, high-level requirements (functional and non-functional), data flows, and considerations related to risk, privacy, or regulatory constraints. The document functions as a communication tool rather than a finished specification, and it is often used to guide subsequent feasibility studies, proofs of concept, or prototype development.

Relation to related concepts: tkonsept is broader than a prototype and more concrete than an abstract concept. It is commonly used in product development, research projects, and early-stage proposals within startups, academic teams, or engineering firms.
