Risk
Motor does not provide required power
Competition indroduce similar technology
Core system unable to match conventional weight system performance
Market proves too small
Material supplier closes down
Cannot meet cost target
Outside the scope of existing expertise
Application system design unstable
System not user friendly
Manufacture takes longer than predicted
Sourcing parts from overseas causes delays
Parts out of stock or delay in delivery
Control system cannot accurately distinguish when to swap between brake and motor mode
Issues at Critical Design Review hold back project
System fails to cater for 5th to 95th percentile
Completed application system does not meet strength requirements
In response to our product competitors reduce their own selling prices
Product overweight
Product not well received by consumers
Non-linear relationship between linear actuator position and brake torque
