The TRIM (Team, Resources, Idea, Market) framework is a planning tool that identifies the types of people needed for the team, the resources available and needed, the details of the idea, and the potential market for the product or service. It serves as a tool for determining the types of people you would like on your team and how you might go about attracting them to your business, the resources you have available to grow the business and the types of access you may have to other resources, the validity of your idea, and the potential market for your product or service.

Pick one of the four TRIM variables (Team, Resources, Idea, Market) and describe some of the questions that might be asked pertaining to this variable. For example:

Team: Who needs to be on the team? What skills do they need etc.

Resources: What cash do what have to use? What equipment do we need to start etc.

Idea: How is our idea unique? What customer needs are being met etc.

Market: Who are our primary customers? How will we reach them etc.
