• The product is not finalized or at a stage where it can be sold directly to a customer

• The economics of production and sale have not been finalized

• A final price for the product has not been set

• Universities and academics are leading the process

The initiative is in the market testing phase if

• There is a finished product which is not going through basic modifications or further testing

• They are being sold to customers by independent businesses on a routine basis from their own premises

• Businesses are trying to make a profit and earn a living from the sales

• Water For People are not involved in any part of the production process

• There are no issues with government about their sale

• The businesses are independently searching for customers
