- Size of a shoe box (excluding Pendulum)
- Made mainly of wood
- Looks just like the design
- Shows how the mechanics of a clock works.
- The weight has to be easy rewindable.
So I was planning on asking questions like:
- Is the clock (excluding the Pendulum) about the size of a shoe box?
- Is the clock mainly made out of wood?
- Does it look just like the original design?
- Does it show how the mechanics of a clock work?
- Is the weight easily rewindable?
But for people to answer some of these questions they would either have to see the product or know how it works. As I cannot bring the actual product around with me, or have time to explain exsactly how it works I decided that I will not do a survey. I would also need a lot of people to survey which is very inconvenient and time-consuming.
I decided that I would just reflect myself on how well I have done in my design specifications. As most of them are either common-sense or measurable I believe I can decide myself if I have achieved the specification.
I will check myself if I have reached the specification by:
Measuring the outline of an average/random shoe box, and measuring the outline of my clock. I will allow myself a 10cm margin of error.
Other materials are allowed to be used in my product, but it has to be mainly wood. If I have achieved this specification mainly relies on common sense.
Looks just like the design is an easy one. I have in no aspect in any way changed my design compared to my final product. The slightest change causes this specification to fail.
It should show how the mechanics work
I designed my clock in such a way that it will show how the mechanics of a clock clearly. If I will stick to the design then this specification will automatically also be achieved.
Then again, I designed the clock in such a way that the weight will be easily rewindable. So if the design works out OK, then I automatically achieved this too. But if I don't achieve the 'just like the design' specification I will time myself rewinding the clock. If it takes takes 60 seconds or less in a normal (not rushing) speed, I have achieved this specification.
If the majority of the questions are answered with yes... then I can proudly say that I achieved my goal.
