    Pour fiabiliser les sorties, exigez que chaque donnée chiffrée soit accompagnée d’une source (site web, rapport annuel) et d’une marge d’incertitude. Ajoutez une pondération explicite des critères (prix, délais, qualité) selon les priorités stratégiques de la PME, et demandez une analyse des barrières à l’entrée. Variante utile : intégrez un scénario « et si » sur l’évolution des menaces à 3 ans.
