City Science understands the stages of Product Evolution
Very few products operate in a static environment, even simple staples change, 25 years ago who would have thought that a pint/ liter of milk would have 25 different varieties today? Product evolution like many things in this world is part Science, part Art, part Prediction and Part Commonsense.
Academically there are 4 stages of product evolution. Here is a brief outline of how City Science works within that framework..
Ideation....

- Market Potential: We perform deep-dive market research to answer critical questions like, “What problem are you solving?” and “How big is the opportunity?” We validate the commercial viability of your concept.
