Hi Jon
So what have you tried so far as a reason for SCT?
What was the response?
It is a bootsrapping problem - it is hard for potential users to
perceive the benefits without some concrete examples of how SCT might be
deployed and used, and it is hard to create such examples without some
enthusiasm from potential users.
The solution is to start slowly
[...]
All new ventures have bootstrapping problems.
The solution is to minimise risk and know when to pull the plug.
Within the context of a business plan, one should set interim
milestones of progress against which to assess likelihood of success.
Given than more than 90% of new ventures fail, plug pulling is a
particularly important skill.
Starting slowly is what one does with a small amount of seed funding.
(probably <$20k)
When one invests a seven digit sum of public money, the clock is
running to demonstrate effectiveness within a political cycle.
