Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between feasibility and viability?

Feasibility asks whether something can be done at all with the resources at hand. Viability asks whether it can keep going and succeed once it is done, especially financially. A project can be feasible to build but not viable to run.

What is a feasibility study?

It is a structured assessment carried out before a project is approved, examining whether it is technically possible, legally allowed, affordable and worth doing. It usually ends with a recommendation to proceed, revise the plan or stop.

Is feasibility the same as possibility?

Not quite. Something can be possible in principle but not feasible in practice, because it would cost too much or take too long. Feasibility always takes real-world constraints into account.
