Project 10^100 submission's form as a business plan template

Google's Project 10^100 sounds promissing. I missed the deadline to submit my ideas, but I am taking the opportunity to "borrow" their entry form questions in creating a business plan proposals template. Here are the relevant questions: 8. Your idea's name (maximum 50 characters): 9. Please select a category that best describes your idea. Community: How can we help connect people, build communities and protect unique cultures? Opportunity: How can we help people better provide for themselves and their families? Energy: How can we help move the world toward safe, clean, inexpensive energy? Environment: How can we help promote a cleaner and more sustainable global ecosystem? Health: How can we help individuals lead longer, healthier lives? Education: How can we help more people get more access to better education? Shelter: How can we help ensure that everyone has a safe place to live? Everything else: Sometimes the best ideas don't fit into any category at all. 10. What one sentence best describes your idea? (maximum 150 characters) 11. Describe your idea in more depth. (maximum 300 words) 12. What problem or issue does your idea address? (maximum 150 words) 13. If your idea were to become a reality, who would benefit the most and how? (maximum 150 words) 14. What are the initial steps required to get this idea off the ground? (maximum 150 words) 15. Describe the optimal outcome should your idea be selected and successfully implemented. How would you measure it? (maximum 150 words)
