Thought Process:

After lots of feedback on previous classification schemes, we finally found a decent model that
would be right for our project. This model contains an outline of the function, method of
distribution, and access by the consumer to the product for our potential products.

It was necessary to outline the method of distribution and accessibility of the product because
the primary goal of our project is to create something that can be easily accessible and can be
widely and cheaply distributed. Our aim, especially, is not to create something conceptual, but
to end this semester with a launched product.

Through the classification scheme, we can understand then how easy it would be for us to
distribute this product, and how accessible it would be for our intended audience.

Application of Mentorship:

This goal and our rough ideas have been sent to our mentors prior to completing everything on
the doc. Initially, we’d intended only to put activation methods and functions, but it was through
the advice of our mentors that we put the additional distribution tab.
