Foundation related criteria are Suitable and Specific:

6. Suitable. Is the problem suitable for a small R&D foundation.
   • This often precludes solutions requiring large financial or manpower resources. Most suitable solutions often relate to
     1. creating the necessary research, information, and best practices,
     2. implementing them concretely on pilot basis, and
     3. then externalizing the scaling through the above noted institutional partners/governments.

7. Specific. Is there a specific, tangible solution to consider – something with solid logic and competitive advantage.
   • Theoretical and conceptual answers are often interesting – but 90+ % of results will always depend on the physical implementation. Therefore, every chosen idea must have a very specific and concrete implementation – implementation which has a competitive advantage over its alternatives.
