My approach is always like: - Donate 40 hours to that idea. Doesn't matter the goal. - During this 40 hours evaluate the following: - Feasibility - Long term goal. - Team needed it. - Create a score card (2x2 concept here positivexnegative, fastxslow). - Explore ideas for it(Design thinking approach here). - Explore the feedback from people you know. - Now that you have spent 38 hours. Use the last 2 hours to pitch and collect from other people that you don't know and pitch the idea, and place in the score card. If you have enough evidence (data) you can discover insights (analysis) to peruse or not not. If you still have other areas to cover, I will limit the cut off time to 100 hours. That's how I discover if ideas are worth my actions.
