This project can be thought of as a practice project proposal that you would submit or write up to your superiors.Have the experience of making decisions based upon logical and financial decisions and be able to explain it.
This means that the paper should be written in an objective third person language when you are describing the problem, solutions and recommended course of actions. Your boss (myself) wants an analytical evaluation and recommendation based upon facts rather than emotional gut feelings about the project/recommendation.
