Buyer power may depend on switching effort, procurement concentration and the availability of alternatives, while supplier power can arise through specialist skills, technology inputs or delivery dependencies.

Product analysis can distinguish the software offer from related services and identify the customer problem each is intended to address. Price analysis tests possible licensing, service or bundled-value logic without inventing price points. Place examines potential routes to customers, such as direct, partner-assisted or digital paths where evidence supports them, while promotion considers how a complex proposition can be communicated clearly.

Social factors include skills, trust and changing work practices, while technological developments can alter expectations for software capability and integration.
