Technology Design HOW 2 Series

This guide outlines a systematic approach to evaluating products through the A.C.C.E.S.S.F.M. framework. The framework consists of nine stages: from sketching the product from various perspectives to assessing its aesthetics, cost, target consumer, environmental impact, safety features, size, functionality, and materials used. Each stage prompts crucial questions aimed at thoroughly understanding the product's design, usability, and overall value. By following this method, analysts can provide a detailed evaluation that considers multiple facets of the product.
