In particular, it only sheds light over the main points of your entire business plan (e.g. , What is the problem that you are trying to solve? Why is it important? What is your proposed solution? Etc)  \n􀀏 Make sure not to go into much details in this section (in other words, focus very brie✢y on the \"why\" and \"what\", and not on the \"how\") .  \n􀀏 When de✜ning the problem that you are trying to tackle, you can include the major ✜nding in your market research (e.g. , recent studies show that 55% of people worldwide are concerned about diagnostic errors) that lead you to think that your problem is truly an important one. This will serve as a solid motivation for proposing a solution for this problem.  \n􀀏 Emphasize the uniqueness of your proposed solution so as to intrigue the reader to continue reading your plan.  \n2 Background (1 page)  \n􀀏 De✜ne the problem you are trying to solve very clearly. How did you verify its existence, importance, and urgency? Include summaries of your primary and secondary market research ✜ndings. If you conducted a survey, show only the gist of it (e.g. , 1 or 2 summary plots) .  \n3 Proposed Solution (1-2 pages)  \n􀀏 Explain how your solution will exactly address the problem you de✜ned in Section 2 .  \n􀀏 Elaborate on your product/service (or your proposed techniques and features) . Is it a website, an app, a full-✢edged system, or something else? What is special and/or unique about it? What are the novel features? How does your product achieve what it promises to achieve?  \n􀀏 What are the bene✜ts (or values) that your product/service o✛ers to your customers?  \n􀀏 Who are your competitors (if any)? How does your product/service compare to their products/services?  \n4 Implementation Strategy (1-2 pages)  \n􀀏 Who is your team and why is it the right team to pursue the suggested solution in Section 3?  \n􀀏 What is your implementation strategy? Are you in the idea stage? Do you have already a prototype of your product? Have you started your business already? Do you already have some revenue? If so, what is your strategy to grow your business and achieve sustainability?  \n􀀏 Note: Do not get into many speci✜cs. The objective of this section is to help the reader understand where you are in the process of building your company.  \n5 Business Model (1 page)  \n􀀏 Describe your business model very clearly and specify your revenue streams. Why do you think this is the best way to monetize your proposed product?  \n6 Beachhead Market (1 page)  \n􀀏 Identify your potential customers along the demographic (e.g. , age, male and/or female, income level, education level, and/or marital status, among others) and psychographic (i.e. , people✬s attributes that cannot be measured like interests, hobbies, and/or fears, etc.) dimensions. Do not write something like \"everyone\" or \"all women\" or \"all men\", etc. You should show a much deeper understanding of your target customers and their consumption behaviors.  \n􀀏 Identify your beachhead market (the geolocation) and justify its selection. What were the criteria that you relied upon to make your selection? What is the TAM of this market?  \n7 Financials (2 pages)  \n7.1 Revenue Projections  \n􀀏 Conduct and present revenue projections for the coming ✜ve years.  \n􀀏 You can also include 1 or 2 critical sensitivity analysis.  \n7.2 Unit Economics  \n􀀏 Compute your COCA and LTV and discuss why (and if) your business will become profitable in ✜ve years.  \n8 Marketing Plan (1 page)  \n􀀏 How will you market your product/service to your target customers? Will you use inbound and/or outbound marketing techniques? If so, what are these techniques and why are they e✛ective for marketing your product? How will you consistently reach your target customers and how would you convert them to actual clients?  \n􀀏 Note: Most ✜rst-time entrepreneurs would say \"we will promote","cbCaisESYwJVRYZQ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaisESYwJVRYZQ","pdf",77406,"English","# Executive Summary\n## Background\n## Proposed Solution\n## Implementation Strategy\n## Business Model\n## Beachhead Market\n## Financials\n## Marketing Plan\n## Concluding Remarks","[{\"question\":\"What should the Executive Summary include and how detailed should it be?\",\"answer\":\"It should act as a high-level overview of the business plan, focusing on the main points.
