1. A method of assessing feasibility of a project, the method comprising:
- receiving a datum associated with a desired process;
designing, using one or more computers, an application specific multivariate optical computing system based on the datum, comprising;
analyzing the datum;
separating the datum into calibration and validation portions thereof;
developing one or more models of at least one component of the application specific multivariate optical computing system using the calibration portion of the datum;
and testing the one or more models using the validation portion of the datum;
wherein the application specific multivariate optical computing system incorporates one or more of the models; and
evaluating, using the one or more computers, a set of input parameters to determine an applicability of the application specific multivariate optical computing system to the desired process;
wherein developing the one or more models comprises;
modeling, using the one or more computers and the calibration portion of the datum, two or more of the following elements of the application specific multivariate optical computing system;
an illumination source adapted to provide at least a calibration light;
a beam splitter adapted to split the calibration light into first and second portions thereof, and further adapted to split a carrier light into first and second portions thereof;
a baseline detector to which the respective first portions of the calibration light and the carrier light are adapted to be sent by the beam splitter;
an element detector to which the respective second portions of the calibration light and the carrier light are adapted to be sent by the beam splitter;
ora multivariate optical element through which the respective second portions of the calibration light and the carrier light are adapted to pass before being received by the element detector.

Abstract
Methods of assessing feasibility of a project include receiving a datum from a customer; designing an application specific system based on the datum; analyzing the datum; evaluating a set of input parameters to determine an applicability of the application specific system to a customer process; and providing feedback for the customer process with the application specific system.
