9A - Testing the Hypotheses Part II

After getting further into detail and conducting ever more interviews, the idea is not for 100% of the population that I initially thought would find it useful.  In fact, most people would prefer not to deal with the hassle of having another appliance in their homes that needs service, would need to be installed and having the possibility of breaking.  Of the 5 interviews I conducted for this part, only 2 would have used them in their businesses.  And both of these businesses were food businesses or restaurants.  The other 3, a local hardware store, a building supply company and a local bar owner said it was not worth the hassle and were all handy enough to fix the, “Not as common as you think”, clogging situation.  It seems that the idea, although still seems very profitable and popular, needs to be fine-tuned and marketed towards the right people and businesses.
