Here are the things you should show consideration of as you finalise your idea:
> Have you reviewed and answered all the points from in the List of Master requirements?
> What do you need to finalise in order to make it a commercial/ marketable product? (Part of this will include marketing/ branding which we will look at next).
> How well your final idea has evolved from systematic design, testing, feedback and evaluations?
Your final idea should:
> Be the best, most refined idea it can be (optimisation and DFMA considered)
> Meet all the points in the List of Master Requirements (was this technical
enough?)
> be a result of progressive/ iterative design
> be approved by your stakeholders (this should have been evident as part
of the journey and not an add on)
All decisions about this final design should be justified/ supported (by stakeholders and research) and should be well communicated. You could present this as a table of decisions or a well labelled drawing.

How do you know what to 'tweak' for your final design?
Have you considered what the final proposal:
> will look like?
> will be made of?
> how it will be manufactured?
> how it will be used?
> how it will be stored?
> how it will be repaired?
> How it will be dismantled?
> How it will be . . . . . .
> how it will be marketed?
> how it will be packaged?
> How it will (insert key points from your Lomr's here)
