The client can opt for a feasibility report that summarizes our findings for each potentially overlapping product. To ease your decision-making process at this stage, we also provide preliminary evidence and also propose a ranking for each product depending upon the extent of overlap. For cost benefits, the client can even opt for only feasibility Analysis instead of an Evidence of use chart.
