Should we actually build this specific program?
You have a program concept on the table — leadership wants to know whether to greenlight it. The Feasibility Study takes that one concept and validates it across seven dimensions, ending with a defended GO, NO-GO, or CONDITIONAL recommendation. The conditions, if any, are specific and measurable.

Scope definition
We define the proposed program precisely — target occupation(s), credential type, length, modality — so the validation answers your actual question, not a generic version of it.

Seven-lens analysis
Labor market, financial viability, learner demand, employer demand, competitive landscape, institutional fit, regulatory compliance. Each lens has its own sub-methodology and its own data sources.

Tiger-team synthesis
After the seven lenses run, an adversarial synthesis pass challenges optimistic assumptions before they reach the recommendation. The point is to surface what could kill this program, not to confirm what you already think.

Recommendation
GO, NO-GO, or CONDITIONAL with specific, measurable conditions. Written so it can survive a board meeting without you having to re-explain the methodology.
