"of sufficient value to repay the effort"
- financial feasibility
"financial resources available to procede"
5.1 Evaluate Feasible Syntheses
Evaluate the feasible concepts remaining
Consider them in light of above 3 considerations
Perform trade-off studies if needed
5.2 Design Variable Establishment
Sensitivity Studies
Degrees of Freedom

5.3 Design Space Study
5.4 Optimal Design
