Reflective Overview will have three sections which must be addressed.

 Project Description address the following questions:

• What is the problem your solution would address?
• How would your solution address the problem?
• Are there aspects of your solution that are original and innovative? How?
• How much do you think your solution would cost to launch the project, and how long would it take?
• Is it "transportable" so that your solution could be copied in other cities or countries?
• As a rough estimation, how many people would your solution take to run the project, once it was off the ground? How many jobs could be paid? How many volunteer? Would your congressman support this?
• Do you see this as a non-profit project, or profit? Would there be any revenue stream possible, or do you see it as funded by the government or private foundations? Or a combination of the two?
