75% of software failures relate to poor specification, with only 12.7% of information system projects being successful first time
(British Computer Society Survey)
Information system software development is a multi-billion pound global industry. Using existing methods it remains extremely challenging to accurately specify software projects and the knock-on commercial impact of this is significant. Consequently, there is a genuine and sizeable opportunity for any business who can create a more effective solution to this problem.
