The final step is to take the numeric grading assigned in the Rate field section as a complexity factor and add it to the letter assigned from the Order field.
Σvaluate Field Input As a basic guide for understanding what the Σvaluate field means the following interpretation is supplied: 1A – 5A = you do not even think about it, you just do it. The idea is easily implemented and requires nothing to develop it, it’s a freebee; this may be your immediate solution but not gain enough substantially in the long run. 5A – 5B = the majority of truly novel & useful ideas and problem solutions will come from this section of ideas.
It will take some refinement and continued development of the ideas to make the solution match the customer requirement but the idea is do-able with the complexly within your normal capabilities. 5B – 10C = Keep these ideas as second-generation ideas which may be the future of the product or service. It will require substantial time and financial resources to implement, which will not meet your current needs and objectives. Use of research and development resources should concentrate in these ideas. 11C = Ignore the idea because it takes development of a parameter which is not currently feasible.
