We recommend publishing the book from the 1600s, “Much Ado About Everything” by Stillspeare, because it has the highest profit. The recommendation structure should be question, answer, risks, next steps.
Question: Ostrich books, a classics publisher, hired us to help them choose which time period they should publish on their next launch.
Answer: We recommend publishing the book from the 1600s. “Much Ado About Everything” by Stillspeare brings in the most profit of all four options, bringing in $75M profit calculated through a $150M Total Revenue and a $75M Total Cost.
Risks: The first risk with the launch is demographic change - in the time it takes to get to market, consumer behavior may change to better suit another product. This can be mitigated by collecting and analyzing data from Ostrich internally and by buying data from data brokers. The second risk is a spike in costs caused by a possible increase in translation costs in older literature.
Next Steps: The next steps are to negotiate a deal with a translator and to implement a manufacturing process for the book.
