Updated engineering solutions pitch template

Here is an updated version of my previous mock solutions pitch for Open Fitness Culture

Updated engineering solutions pitch template

I recently started reading a book written by one of my college professors back at University at Buffalo called Blockchain in Actions. It's a really well-written book. A surprising takeaway that I have so far is how she proposes her blockchain solution to her sample problem. I've decided to adapt some key concepts and fit them into my way of doing it including using a table to help make viewing easier.

Here is an updated version of my previous mock solutions pitch for Open Fitness Culture.

Open Fitness Culture:

The fitness industry contains a lot of products or programs that are fads or have paid promoters making exaggerated claims that over promise and under deliver in results. Old trends get recycled as new and beautiful models are used to misrepresent results to consumers. A fitness culture that is open and honest should allow people to see and verify start to end fitness journeys that would more closely match their own. Aspiring fitness enthusiasts should be able to market and monetize their own start to end fitness programs with reproducible results for people to see.


Use case: Open Fitness culture platform
Problem statement: what kind of platform and technology is required to support this kind of culture of openness to new fitness programs with verification of actual success with relatable start to end journeys?
Issues with how problem is currently tackled Implications
The problem is not being tackled at all People have unrealistic expectations of program or on the other end can not be convinced program will work for them
Previous or existing attempts at solution(2/7/2021) Pros Cons
None NA NA
Proposed new solution
Live streaming platform specifically intended for before and after results with verified workout footage and journey. Additional features to allow quick filtering by results, timeframe, level of fitness, and body weight/height for consumers to find their own match.

Benefits:

Consumer Business Overall Community
Get a potentially infinite number of workout programs with results viewable by people just like them who have tried the programs before them. Carve out niche market in the health tech industry by being a pioneer. Expanding what's possible with new emerging ways to use technology
New trainers who want to make a niche or who have unique programs to offer have a platform to show the proof as to their effectiveness. Great platform for sponsorship and advertisement. Good platform for people to make friends and share ideas with each other.
Maximize the benefits of being held accountable for working out and being examples for future workout people Ability to branch out to other fields/discipline where consistent practice and reproducible programs would be valuable.

What I like about this modification is that it makes all the relevant information very compact and easy to navigate and it formulates upfront all the presentation information you would want if making it into a slideshow or doodle presentation.
