…       The business model used and how successful it was
…       The planning and implementation issues
…       How the service or product was structured and/or evolved
…       Was it based on non-'net product or service or developed from scratch
…       How much was out-sourced
…       Advertising, promotion and other marketing issues
…       How the business justification for doing this structured
…       Was there a solid justification or based on a hunch?
…       Where is the profit or revenue being made and where are the real costs
…       Was it as successful as planned, more so/less so and why?
