Feasibility Study:

Task: You will describe a technical-related issue or problem in your field, propose a solution ( or describe a "best practice) and present its feasibility.

A Feasibility Study uses specific criteria to evaluate competing options or solutions to major problems. The goal of the feasibility study is to provide your readers with clear and coherent assessments of the problem, criteria needed to determine the best solution, an overview of benchmark solutions or what other companies have tried, stakeholder concerns, and your final recommendations. The goal is to present data and recommendations in a very objective manner. Your studies should be clearly and logically organized. Your tone should be persuasive as well as informative and you should avoid sounding biased.

You should begin by introducing and summarizing information about a problem (for example, the results of a survey or study, or recent history of a problem) Typically, the introduction might also address the concerns stakeholders may have about the problem itself or current processes in place to fix it. Most writers include a visual (chart, graph, photograph, diagram) to make the problem more clear. Your introduction should also clearly outline your proposed solutions and the best solution or best practice. The rest of the essay will then test the feasibility of that proposal.

You'll need to make sure that you're using "layered" research as we've talked about before. So, you'll need to use a variety of sources like: primary, secondary, benchmark and so on to help you introduce the problem and list the possible solutions. Your credibility (Ethos) is important here too, so, as always, you should use credible, peer reviewed sources.
