Feasibility studies examine options for achieving an agreed set of service or business outcomes, then determine the most appropriate implementation option by using a range of quantitative and qualitative techniques.  Studies can be undertaken on an economic basis (measuring costs and benefits at the societal level) or on a financial basis measuring costs and benefits (at the organisational level). 

Evaluation parameters can include technical feasibility, market capacity, capital and recurrent costs, likely returns, non-quantifiable costs and benefits, legal issues, environmental impact, workforce issues, legislative/regulatory environment and potential risks to success.
