How does it work —> Does it work?
What are the first principals of the underlying problem and solution?
Drivers

What areas of knowledge must be merged to solve this?
Ecosystem
Who are the stakeholders in the solution?
Why is this not obvious to everyone now?
What will be the reaction of these stakeholders to the solution? Is it disruptive or sustaining, and to whom? What are the incentives for everyone in the system?
What team would be needed to make this happen? Where are the centers of activity in the world on this topic?
Decisions
