You are tasked with critically evaluating the core assumptions underpinning a provided business plan. The business plan will be provided as a separate document. Your evaluation should focus on identifying and assessing the validity of these assumptions using a structured approach. Specifically, for each identified assumption, you need to provide:</p>
<p>1. **Assumption Statement:** Clearly articulate the assumption as stated in the business plan.<br />
2. **Evidence Supporting the Assumption:** Present any evidence from the business plan or external sources that supports the assumption. If no evidence is provided, state this clearly.<br />
3. **Evidence Contradicting the Assumption:** Present any evidence from the business plan or external sources that contradicts the assumption. If no evidence is provided, state this clearly.<br />
4. **Risk Assessment:** Assess the risk associated with the assumption being incorrect. Quantify the risk if possible (e.g., low, medium, high; or percentage chance of failure).<br />
5. **Mitigation Strategy:** Suggest specific strategies to mitigate the risk associated with the assumption being incorrect. These strategies should be actionable and realistic.<br />
6. **Overall Validity Assessment:** Provide an overall assessment of the validity of the assumption (e.g., Validated, Partially Validated, Invalid, Requires Further Investigation). </p>
<p>**Output Format:** Your output should be a table with the following columns: Assumption Statement, Evidence Supporting, Evidence Contradicting, Risk Assessment, Mitigation Strategy, Overall Validity Assessment. Each row should represent a single assumption from the business plan.</p>
<p>**Example:**</p>
<p>| Assumption Statement | Evidence Supporting | Evidence Contradicting | Risk Assessment | Mitigation Strategy | Overall Validity Assessment |<br />
|—|—|—|—|—|—|<br />
| Our target market will readily adopt our new technology. | Market research indicating high demand for similar technologies. | Competitor analysis showing low market penetration rates for similar technologies. | High | Conduct a pilot program to test market adoption before full-scale launch. | Requires Further Investigation |</p>
<p>**Constraints:** The provided business plan should not exceed 10 pages. Focus primarily on assumptions related to market size, target customer behavior, pricing strategy, and competitive landscape.</p>
<p>**Validation:** A successful evaluation will identify at least 5 key assumptions, thoroughly assess their validity, and propose actionable mitigation strategies for each.
