    These days, I believe you need to have a plan and a clue, before you can get a project approved on these platforms. If  Rik can share his project and allow eyes to see it, he could start a discussion and let others chime in. If it's non-public or NDA, there's no value bringing it in a community forum.

    You're right, perhaps those platforms should provide a guide on how to build a plan, but I'm not sure about that I have only been on the consumer side.

    Sharing more details in the community would be helpful to evaluate how much is "ready" for production. Most of the times, having the idea is not enough and it's needed a lot of manufacturing, marketing, selling and financing knowledge.
