toteutuskelpoinen

Toteutuskelpoinen is a Finnish term used to describe a proposal, plan, or project that is feasible to implement. The concept focuses on whether an idea can be carried out successfully within given constraints such as resources, technology, regulations, and organizational capacity. In practice, something toteutuskelpoinen is considered capable of being turned into reality through concrete actions, schedules, and funding.

Etymology and meaning: The word combines toteutus (implementation) and kelpoinen (worthy or suitable), yielding a translation along the lines of implementable or feasible to execute. It is commonly used in public administration, project appraisal, and planning processes to evaluate whether further development or procurement is warranted.

Context and usage: In Finnish planning and procurement, assessments often include a distinction between toteutuskelpoinen and non-toteutuskelpoinen ideas. A proposal may be labeled toteutuskelpoinen only after it passes initial screening for practicality, legal compliance, and readiness for deployment. The term is typically applied at early stages, before detailed design or budgeting, to prioritize proposals that can realistically be realized.

Criteria: Determining toteutuskelpoinen usually involves evaluating technical feasibility (availability of required technology and infrastructure), financial viability (costs, funding sources, and return on investment), regulatory and legal compliance (permits and procurement rules), organizational capacity (governance, staffing, management). Additional considerations may include risk, time frame, environmental and social impact, and stakeholder acceptance.
