Optimistic business cases
Cost and market assumptions go unchallenged at the gate.
Early, data-backed feasibility checks — cost, market and manufacturability — before money is committed.
The most expensive product decisions are the ones made on optimism. We bring cost, market and manufacturability data together into an early feasibility view, so go/no-go calls rest on evidence before significant investment is committed.
Weak early feasibility leads to costly, late surprises.
Cost and market assumptions go unchallenged at the gate.
True cost and manufacturability only emerge after investment.
Go/no-go decisions lack a quantified, comparable basis.
Feasibility, quantified early.
Early should-cost and margin view of the concept.
Demand and pricing evidence for the business case.
Whether and how the concept can be made at cost.
A defensible go/no-go.
Cost, market and manufacturability in one view.
Evidence-based cost, margin and demand.
A clear, comparable go/no-go basis.

Early should-cost and margin are modelled.
Demand and pricing evidence is gathered.
Manufacturability is checked.
A quantified go/no-go is delivered.
Go/no-go calls made on evidence, not optimism.

Common problems in this area, how KEPLER solves them, and the likely outcome.
Go/no-go on evidence
View details →A new product idea moves forward or dies on opinion and enthusiasm, with cost, volume and margin barely modelled until money is already committed.
A costed, evidence-based go/no-go before serious money is spent, not after.
Price-to-cost gap sized
View details →Marketing sets a price the market will bear; engineering isn't sure the product can be built under it. The gap only becomes clear late.
Early clarity on whether the target price is achievable, and what has to change if it isn't.
TCO make vs buy
View details →The choice to build in-house or outsource rests on partial numbers, missing overhead, capacity and risk, so it's often the wrong call.
A make-versus-buy decision grounded in true total cost, with the trade-offs made explicit.
No use cases match this filter yet — but the problem is almost certainly one we can help with.
