    Porter prefers three critical tests for success:

    1. The attractiveness test: High ROI , high entry barriers, low customers and suppliers bargaining power, and few substitute products.
    2. The cost-of-entry test. If the cost of entry is so high that it prejudices the potential return on investment, profitability is eroded before the game has started. [This is what you refer to as the capital test]
    3. The better-off test. How will the acquisition provide advantage to either the acquirer or the acquired?
