Initial Screening Analysis (ISA)

Initial Screening Analysis is a high level "scene setting" methodology that should be used at the beginning of any Britest study.

It is used to

• Outline the background to the problem being investigated
• Gain a consensus view on the business / technical objectives for the study
• Identify any real or perceived constraints to solutions generated
• Capture key information on feeds, products and wastes

ISA brings together both business and technical information, and benefits from input from both functions.

The outputs of an ISA are

• A common understanding of the problem
• An agreed approach to the rest of the study
