2 terms

development feasibility technical

"including development feasibility, project strategy, cost and risk analysis"

An assessment of whether a proposed product, project, or drug can be taken from idea to market given technical, clinical, regulatory, manufacturing, timeline and cost constraints. It combines scientific feasibility (can it be made and shown to work), regulatory feasibility (can it meet approval rules), and commercial/manufacturing feasibility (can it be produced and sold at scale). Investors track it because it summarizes the practical risks, time, and likely costs that determine whether a development effort can succeed and create value.

Forward-looking statements are predictions or plans that companies share about what they expect to happen in the future, like estimating sales or profits. They matter because they help investors understand a company's outlook, but since they are based on guesses and assumptions, they can sometimes be wrong.
