Initial Designs Evaluation - Rajinder Sidhu

The purpose of this 5x5 design evealuator is to review designs according to a set of criteria. The result is a perfection rating where 100% is perfect and 0% is useless. Scores of 80% or higher indicate the design is very good and worth taking further.

A rating of 0 indicates the design does not meet that criterion in any way. A rating of 5 indicates the design perfectly meets that criterion.

By multiplying the total number of points each design recieves by four gives us a score out of 100 possible points.



From the evaluation we can see that designs 1 and 2 are the most feasible. Aspects of these designs will definitely be taken further. Also, some aspects of the other lesser feasible designs will be looked at and analysed further in the next stage of development.
