  "hypothesis": "My gosh, you've already produced a PowerPoint presentation. I think it's already on, actually. God, how do I make this thing work? Hello. Have you done that? I've plugged it in the back, but\u2014 Yeah, you have to\u2014 Yep. Okay, right. Turn it on. It's doing something. Yes. There you go. Okay. Right. Well, this is the kickoff meeting for our project. And this is just what we're going to be doing over the next 25 minutes. So first of all, just to kind of make sure that we all know each other, I'm Laura, and I'm the project manager. Great. Do you want to introduce yourself again? Hi. I'm David and I'm supposed to be an industrial designer. Okay. And I'm Andrew and I'm our marketing expert. I'm Craig and I'm user interface. Great. Okay. So we're designing a new remote control and\u2014 oh, I have to record who's here actually. So that's David, Andrew, and Craig, isn't it? And you all arrived on time. Designing your remote control, as you can see, it's supposed to be original, trendy, and user-friendly. So that's kind of our brief, as it were. And so there are 3 different stages to the design. I'm not really sure what you guys have already received. Um, in your emails, what did you get? Um, I just got the project announcement, but what project is that? Designing a remote control? Yeah, that's what everybody got. Okay. Um, so we're gonna have like individual work and then a meeting about it and repeat that process 3 times. Um, At this point, we get to try out the whiteboard over there. You get to draw your favorite animal and sum up your favorite characteristics of it. Who would like to go first? I'll go. Very good. This one here, right? Mm-hmm. Okay, very nice. All right, my favorite animal is like a beagle. Characteristics, favorite characteristics of it, is that right? Yeah. Right, well, basically, high priority for any animal for me is that they be willing to take a lot of physical affection from their family. And yeah, they have lots of personality and Be fit and in robust good health. So this is Blue, Blue Beagle, my family's beagle. Right, lovely. My favorite animal would be a monkey. I'm a small cute furry, and when Planet of the Apes becomes real, I'm going to be up there with them. You can take as long over this as you like because we haven't got an awful lot to discuss. Oh, we do. We do. Don't feel like you're in a rush anyway. I could have told you a whole lot more about Beagles. Okay, we might have to get you up again then. I don't know what mine is. I'm going to have to think on the spot now. Impressionist. Can't draw. Is that a whale? Yeah. Eh! Um, well, my\u2014 I don't know, it's just the first animal I can think of the top of my head. I guess big reason is because I'm allergic to most animals, allergic to animal fur, so fish was a natural choice. Yeah, and I kind of like whales. They come in and go eat everything in sight. They're quite harmless and mild and interesting. Okay. I still don't know what I'm going to write about. Superb sketch, by the way. Tail's a bit big, I think. I was going to choose a dog as well, but I'll just draw a different kind of dog. My favorite animal is my own dog at home. That doesn't really look like him, actually. He looks more like a pig, actually. Oh well. I see a dog in there. Do you? Oh, that's very good of you. Now I see a rooster. What kind is it? He's a mixture of various things. And what do I like about him? That's supposed to suggest that his tail wags. He's very friendly and cheery and always pleased to see you and very kind of affectionate. And he's quite wee as well, so he doesn't take up too much space. And he does a funny thing where he chases his tail as well. This is quite amusing. Is he aware that it's his own tail he's chasing? It is. I think it is. He only does it after he's had his dinner. And he'll just all of a sudden get up and start chasing his tail. He's around the living room. It's an after-dinner dog then. Yeah. Probably when he was little, he got lots of attention for doing it and has forever been conditioned. Maybe. Where did you find this? Just down here? Yeah. Okay. What are we doing next? Okay. We now need to discuss the project finance. According to the brief, we're going to be selling this remote control for \u20ac25, and we're aiming to make \u20ac50 million. We're going to be selling this on an international scale, and we don't want it to cost any more than \u20ac12.50, so 50% of the selling price. Can we just go over that again? Sure. So basically, all right. Yeah. Okay. So cost, like production cost is altogether $1,250, but selling prices, is that wholesale or retail? Like on the shelf? I don't know. I imagine that's a good question. Our sale. Our sale. I imagine it probably is our sale actually, because it's probably up to the the retailer to sell it for whatever price they want. But I don't know. I mean, do you think the fact that it's going to be sold internationally will have a bearing on how we design it at all? Yes, I think it will. Well, right away I'm wondering if there's like with DVD players, if there are zones. Oh yeah, regions and stuff. Frequencies or something. Yeah. Okay. As well as characters, different keypad styles and symbols. Yeah. Well, for remote control, do you think that will be\u2014 I suppose it depends on how complicated our remote control is. It does make sense from maybe the design point of view because you have more complicated characters like European languages, then you need more buttons. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. And then, and then the other thing, international, on the topic of price, I'm thinking the price might, might appeal to a certain market in one region, whereas in another it'll be different. So what, just like, just like the country?"
