The document outlines a business plan for Common Ground, a startup aiming to provide transparency in veterinary pricing and services. Their mission is to empower pet owners with skills and knowledge. Currently, lack of price transparency limits access to proper pet care. Common Ground conducted interviews finding owners fear high vet costs and receive unexpected bills. The startup will create an app and website allowing owners to understand costs upfront and feel confident in their pet's care. Next steps include validating the solution and refining the revenue model.
The document discusses the problem of lack of transparency in veterinary prices and services, which limits pet owners' ability to provide proper care for their pets. Veterinary costs are always more expensive than expected. The current system does not adequately prepare pet owners with information to make informed financial decisions. On average, owning a dog for its lifetime costs around $23,000. Interviews found that 100% of respondents received unexpected bills and did not know about or trust pet insurance options. The proposed solution is a community-driven app that compares information and experiences about vet offices, filtering by symptoms, costs, and distance. This would provide transparency about veterinary procedures and alleviate fears of unexpected prices.
Pet Savvy is a mobile app that aims to increase transparency in veterinary costs by allowing users to search for expected cost ranges of procedures based on reviews and comparisons submitted by other pet owners (in 3 sentences or less).

Read the following case for questions 11 & 12.
Greenery is a manufacturer of healthy, organic packaged foods that are sold at several grocery store chains across the southeastern United States. Greenerys largest customer, Publics, has requested that Greenery begin providing food and food ingredients in stand up pouches, similar to the photo below.
Publics wants to begin selling two varieties of soup, tomato paste, and a new product that they have nicknamed protein sludge, which is similar in nutritional value to a protein bar, but in a paste form. The soup and tomato paste will be existing Greenery products in new packaging, but the protein paste will need to be developed, based only on a homemade product that a Publics executive encountered while on a health retreat. Having noted the 7% annual growth rate in pouch products over the past several years, Publics has decided to quickly begin selling these products, feeling that they missed an opportunity by not selling them previously.
Publics request of 10,000 pouches by July 1st (6 months away) will be challenging since ABC has never made food in pouches. Publics estimates that sales for the first year will be $500,000 total for the pouch products. Greenery can purchase the equipment to package the products for $400,000, including training. The manufacturer has stated that the machinery can be set up and employees trained in 4 months. The machine would have an annual capacity large enough to make four times the amount forecasted for the first year. Alternatively, Greenery can outsource the production and packaging of the products. Capacity is not an issue for outsourcing, as there are several potential suppliers. Assuming sales of $500,000 from Publics in the first year, Greenerys margin will be $100,000 if they make the products in-house and $50,000 if they outsource. Greenery can also choose not to make these products. Greenerys COO is concerned about Publics perception of the company because Greenery and Publics have faced some inventory problems recently due to poor performance on replenishment orders. Some Greenery products have been out of stock at Publics, while others have gone out of their shelf life due to excess inventory.
Question 11:
As Greenerys COO, you need to make a recommendation to the CEO about what option Greenery should follow. They can produce in-house, outsource production, or pass on the offer. Provide a detailed justification of your decision using material from throughout SCM 5425. 250 word maximum.
Question 12
Based on your response to the previous question, the CEO has asked you to determine a set of metrics to use to ensure that you have made the correct recommendation. Following the SCOR model, your job is to select a set of key performance indicators (KPIs) to track the overall state of the new business opportunity so that you can be sure that your decision continues to be the right one.

Rental Property System Based on Review System Based Review AnalysisIRJET Journal
油
This document discusses the development of a rental property system based on reviews. It conducted a survey that found current methods for finding rental properties and tenants are ineffective, and there is lack of trust between landlords and tenants. The proposed system will create an online marketplace where landlords can list properties and tenants can search based on criteria. It will also integrate a review system to help build trust. The system aims to provide a more effective solution than traditional brokers. Challenges like affordable pricing, weather risks, infrastructure issues and using digital marketing will need to be addressed for the real estate industry. The expected result is students can quickly find suitable rentals matching their needs.

L湛dica didactica (Report finale residenza Diego Alatorre Go_Innovation a Casa...Casa Netural
油
Go_Innovation is a special residency for social innovator held by Netural Coop in Gorizia, European Capital of Culture 2025.
L炭dica did叩ctica / Play to Connect is a provocation to think outside the box, a methodology to board uncomfortable topics in a respectful and joyful manner and an excuse to discuss unconventional solutions to contemporary challenges, where play is seen as an attitude and game design as a metaphor of creativity by which to imagine, experiment and learn about our surroundings.
Casa Netural residency in Gorizia offered Diego an opportunity to test the ideas that he has been developing over the past years and to enrich them by looking at them from a different and complementary perspective. In other words to put theory into practice.
Along the 4 weeks that he lived in Gorizia he realized how mature and innovative his own understanding of the ludic phenomenon, as most people he connected with, found the value of his research, but what was amazing for him is how much his project was fed back from completely different and complementary perspectives.
Along these days he crafter four game ideas, with different levels of complexity and currently in different stages of development. These are described in the final report.

Industrial Designer by CIDI UNAM and Master in Science of Design for Interaction by TU Delft, Diego ALatorre is currently doing a PhD in Contemporary Studies at the Center for Interdisciplinary Studies of Coimbra University.
His research explores the role of games in education: from a multimodal literacy perspective, he explores the creative process of writers, scientists, designers, artists, teachers and reflective players to learn how to critically read the world and creatively write.
Go_Innovation is a project designed and coordinated by Netural Coop Impresa Sociale within the framework of A THOUSAND YEARS OF HISTORY AT THE CENTER OF EUROPE: CASTLE BORGO CROCEVIA OF PEOPLES AND CULTURES, funded by PNRR - Next Generation EU, for the PNRR pilot project M1C3 Measure 2 Investment 2.1 line A - CUP F88F220000007
