The 4Cs litmus

1. *Cashflowing*: is it profitable and cashflowing for the reasons as stated in my presentation

2. *Community*: what are the benefits brought to the community, tangible and intangible, short and long term

3. *Climate*: what is the impact it has on the environment, short and long term

4. *Continuity and covering*: is it sustainable as opposed to being just a one hit wonder (fly by night) with the appropriate “covering” structure eg coaching, accountability, governance and reporting

If these bases are covered, there is a good chance of success
