Okay, we're back here at the business bookshelf to see if we can get some
validation around this concept of idea filtering.
So first of all, let's take the element of questions.
So a filter is asking a bunch of questions,
and, that you're going to find lots in the bookshelf.
Anyone who's talking about how to write a business plan, or
say you've got an idea what do you do next.
They are basically taking you right down through these factors asking you
these questions.
Who's going to buy it?
How much is it going to cost you?
Who's going to be on your team?
How long's it going to take?
So it's, it's very validated this concept of these questions.
And while they may differ a little from book to book.
You're going to see the same questions over and over again.
We overall know the questions that should be asked.
As far as one of the best references I've found most directly in idea filtering is
McKnight, Will It Fly?
McKnight has started has, has helped over 200 startup companies.
He's been involved in, in some corporate development, and
he's, and, and he's teaching and studying what works and
doesn't work and his key core concept is to come up with an idea, filter.
he has 44 elements in his filter talks about weighing them to
see what's more important to you and, and rating them and
coming up with a, a, a score as you work down through that.
