Design Criteria 2

After reflecting and interviewing more users, we refined our design criteria to guide our design process moving forward. We kept the following design criteria the same:

• The product should be retrievable from a distance.

• The product, used for sport climbing, should be able to fit with preexisting bolts currently used on most routes.

We added the following design criteria after lessons learned from the first iterations and additional user interviews:

• The product should not compromise the safety of existing equipment. 

We moved the following design criteria from a critical design criteria to a secondary criteria after learning that it is a "nice to have", not an absilute requirement:

• The product should be easy to use, such that a climber can attach or deploy it with one hand.

So, our critical design criteria for the second iteration are: 

Critical Design Criteria 

• The product should be retrievable from a distance.

• The product, used for sport climbing, should be able to fit with preexisting bolts currently used on most routes.

• The product should not compromise the safety of existing equipment. 

The secondary design criteria are:

Secondary Design Criteria

• The product should be easy to use, such that a climber can attach or deploy it with one hand.

• The product should be lightweight.

• The product should integrate well into existing gear system.
