About this course
For founders, small-business owners and teams evaluating a new idea, this course provides a structured way to decide whether the idea deserves further investment. Learners organise their assumptions, test them against available evidence and bring the commercial, operational and financial findings into one clear recommendation. Figures used in the examples are teaching assumptions, not current market estimates.
