This s-curve tells you that the first half of the curve, the time/effort spend to develop the product
have a disproportional. E.g. if you’re a bank and you get one unit of time you get 1,5 product
performance. So you’d better stop putting effort in a product when you’re halfway.
,At the beginning it will be higher profit, but after you invest more in it, the cost will be higher but
