feasibility
Significado: The degree to which something is practical, possible, or capable of being achieved. Commonly used in business and engineering to assess whether a proposed project or plan can realistically be carried out.
Feasibility is a cornerstone term in project management, engineering, and business planning, where it typically appears in the compound 'feasibility study' — a formal assessment of whether a proposed venture is technically, economically, and operationally viable. The word implies a systematic evaluation rather than a casual judgement, and collocates strongly with 'study,' 'assessment,' 'report,' and 'analysis.' It is distinct from 'possibility' in that feasibility encompasses practical constraints such as cost, time, and resources.
