-We need to clearly separate two different prices: the price of the final product and the budget we have right now. While the final Healing Cocoon will be sold to clinics for about 2000€ to 2500€, our goal right now is just to build a working test model (prototype) to prove our technology works. 
  
-For this first prototype, the EPS program gave us a 100€ budget limit. To make sure we don't spend too much, we are using affordable, easy-to-find materials for the physical frame. For the smart system, we are using low-cost electronic sensors and a basic microcontroller (ESP32).+We need to clearly separate two different prices: the price of the final product and the budget we have right now.

 To make sure the Healing Cocoon is safe for children and works perfectly in a real clinic, we set clear quality goals. We constantly check our work through team reviews, teacher feedback, and physical testing. To make sure the Healing Cocoon is safe for children and works perfectly in a real clinic, we set clear quality goals.

-Cleanliness & Hygiene - All inside surfaces must be easy to wipe down and made of materials that stop germs from spreading. They must also survive standard clinic cleaning sprays without getting damaged. This will be done by checking the manufacturer's safety sheets and testing the materials with cleaning sprays. +  - Cleanliness & Hygiene - All inside surfaces must be easy to wipe down and made of materials that stop germs from spreading.

-Fast Electronics: When the smart system (the ESP32) senses something, the lights, sounds, or scents must react in less than 2 seconds so the experience feels magical and natural. This is going to be tested by running the code and testing the electronics over and over to find any delays.+  - Fast Electronics - When the smart system (the ESP32) senses something, the lights, sounds, or scents must react in less than 2 seconds so the experience feels magical and natural.

 +We are also focusing on clear and consistent report for keeping the track of our progress and milestones achieved. We use a final "cross-check checklist" before submission, ensuring all numbers, part names, and deadlines match across every single chapter.
  
-Report & Writing Quality 
-Document Quality: All our project reports, business plans, and engineering drawings must be accurate, easy to understand, and have no spelling mistakes. 
-How we check our work: We use a "two-person rule." For example, if an engineer writes a section, a designer reads it before we turn it in to make sure it makes sense to everyone. We also use feedback from our EPS teachers to fix any mistakes before the final deadline. 
 ==== People & Stakeholder Management ==== ==== People & Stakeholder Management ====
-//Enumerate all people relevant to your project, including the project team and key stakeholders. Document their roles and responsibilities. Document your stakeholder management plan and strategy.//+ 
 +To make sure our project runs smoothly, we have clearly defined the roles of our internal team members and identified the external groups (stakeholders) who care about the success of the Healing Cocoon. 
 + 
 +**The Project Team (Internal)** 
 +Our team is made up of six international students from different academic backgrounds. Because we have different skills, we divided the project responsibilities to match our strengths: 
 +  - Ronja Kruse (Dental Technology): Provides medical insights for the clinic environment, helps with B2B marketing, and designs the wheelchair-accessible layout. 
 +  - Hanna Kaczmarek (Industrial Biotechnology): Focuses on ergonomic dimensions, market analysis, and the business SWOT analysis. 
 +  - Anouc Goedhart (Industrial Design Engineering): Leads the 3D design models, branding (flyers/leaflets), and the visual identity of the Cocoon. 
 +  - Daniel Aagaard Pérez (Informatics Engineering): Handles the smart system hardware, projector integration, and the detailed technical schematics. 
 +  - Julie Bonnet (Packaging Engineering): Manages material selection, eco-efficiency research, and building the physical cardboard scale model. 
 +  - Kemal Yilmaz (Electronics - ICT): Develops the software app, the user interface (UI), and database management. 
 + 
 +**Key External Stakeholders** 
 +These are the people outside our team who are impacted by our project: 
 +  * EPS Supervisors & Teachers: They guide our academic progress and grade our deliverables. We manage their expectations by meeting all deadlines and updating our Wiki logbook. 
 +  * Clinic Directors (The Customers): The private dentists and therapists who will buy the Cocoon. We manage them by proving the product is easy to clean and will save their clinic time and money. 
 +  * Patients & Parents (The Users): The anxious children and their parents. We manage their needs by ensuring the final pod is safe, calming, and inclusive. 
 +  * Local Suppliers: Companies like F. Marques da Silva and Artnovion who provide our materials.
