Overview

Most startup ideas fail on one of four questions: whether anyone wants the product, whether rivals already cover it, whether it can be built for the money, and whether the team can run it. This template works through those questions in order. It has eight pages, from the single feasibility question on the idea page to a verdict page with a decision box, a checklist and named owners, so the study ends with a clear go, no-go or go-with-conditions decision.

The sample follows Cinderfield Partners, a fictional startup that proposes a shared cold store for market gardeners in the Fenland area. Its figures show what the evidence, costs and three financial cases look like when they are written up. Use it as a feasibility report template: replace the interview counts, quotes, cost lines and cases with your own data, keep the verdict first, and check that the body supports it.

Useful for

  • Testing a new product idea with interviews before any spending
  • Preparing a go or no-go paper for a founding board or lender
  • Checking whether a site-based service can pay back its investment

What's included

  • An idea page with the feasibility question and a summary strip
  • A customer evidence page with survey bars and two persona cards
  • A competition page with a comparison table and positioning map
  • A cost page with budget, forecast, actual and variance by line
  • A revenue page with three financial cases and a key figures table
  • A verdict page with a decision box, checklist and owners
