They identified potential customers, including government authorities, NGOs, and consulting firms. The VCW funnel and MCDA analysis were used to evaluate potential markets, leading to the selection of Victoria, Australia, due to its rich biodiversity, government support for conservation, and market opportunity. The team then conducted a competitive analysis, developed a prototype platform, and designed a marketing mix and pricing strategy.
