Section B: Match the Pairs
Q1
target market → The specific group of people most likely to need and buy your solution, such as Year 9 students who want a study planner
Q2
competitor analysis → Checking what similar apps or products already exist, and what they do badly, to find a gap your solution could fill
Q3
Value of the solution: it saves users time or fixes a problem they have, which is why they would choose it → value = problem_solved + time_saved
Q4
How a solution could be shared or sold: choose a way to deliver it to the target market, like an app store or a school licence → delivery = app_store OR school_licence
Q5
target_market = everyone → The target market is too broad. A real opportunity names a specific group, such as teenagers who play mobile games, whose need is clear.
Q6
competitors = none, so no gap needed → Having no competitors does not prove there is an opportunity. There may be no demand, or competitors may exist under a different form.
Section C: Definitions

Section E: Spot the Error
Q1
D — An enterprise opportunity needs a way to deliver the solution to the target market. Hiding the app from students means it never reaches them. It should be shared or sold, for example in an app store.
Q2
B — Existing competitors show what is already on offer and where the gap is. Ignoring them is a mistake. The line should say to check or research other apps.
Q3
C — The value of a solution is the benefit it gives the target market. Making users wait longer is not a benefit. It should be something like 'saves time waiting'.
Q4
B — The target market must be the people who have the need. A maths tutor app for Year 7 is aimed at Year 7 students, not retired golfers.
Q5
B — Line 3 says our $50 price is cheaper than the competitors. That only works if rivals charge more than $50, such as $80. At $30 the rivals would be cheaper.
