Is it too early?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Not necessarily. The period before significant product investment can be a valuable time to test assumptions around users, market fit, procurement, implementation, manufacturing, and adoption. The objective is not to make the product more complicated. It is to understand the environment it will eventually enter."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Do you cover higher education and corporate training, or just K-12?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"The work is not limited to K-12. The appropriate strategy depends on the institution, learner, product, procurement environment, and market. Higher education, training organizations, and other learning environments can also fit the engagement."}}]}</script>
