    Nice. So my attempt then attached.

    Reading notes:

    • Since I am trying to estimate financial outcome based on PRP 2021-2026 I had to figure out a way how to add some reality into product development costs (PDC)
    • Using three style types based on product complexity became my solution
    • Using input from various sources I did calculate costs for simple, medium and complex products as shown in picture
    • I also from a planning point of view do assume that some elements of PDC would decrease when developing future 2.o versions or similar styles, thus adding a second PDC per type taking efficiency gains into account
      (also taking into account designer brand awareness, efficiency in working relations with PD stakeholders etc.)

    Any input or thoughts on my attempts to add some dynamics into financial outlooks when considering quite a comprehensive PRP span?
