feasibility

Usage Note

Viabilidad describes whether a plan, project, or organism can survive or be successfully carried out. Estudio de viabilidad is the standard term for a 'feasibility study.' The related adjective is viable ('viable' or 'feasible'), which is a direct cognate and near-false-friend: it does not mean 'available' (that is disponible).

Examples

"Analizaron la viabilidad del proyecto antes de invertir."
