2: Major effect on an industry sector - identify the relevant sector
Sector or Company Information:
Manufacturer, Equipment supplier, Software provider


c. Estimate technical difficulty of the activity.
II: Some Difficulty - Disagreements on known requirements exist but developing consensus is possible
