Sound principles; low cost, safe attempt

10 The Team So Far

11 Why do we think we can do this? Every element of the effort is accounted for by experience of individuals on the team. Once the overall project is broken down into its constituent components, nothing is all that far- fetched. It is not up to one individual or one company – it is a growing alliance of many.
