POINT

A point is an exact location.
Explain what the project/product/service actually is. What does it do? How does it work in very simple terms. This could be a short "elevator pitch" summary of your project so that people know exactly what project you're pitching.

LINE

An infinite amount of points that goes on forever
Explain why this product/service is needed and provide some context for your project. Why is the problem worth solving?

PLANE

A plane is a two dimensional grid with no boundaries.
Make clear who this project/service/product is aimed at. Is it for a particular geographic audience, or a particular demographic group? Or is it for people with a particular interest (i.e. a psychographic?) Or maybe it's for people who have a particular problem or a certain need. Make clear who you are building this product/service/project for so that it's clear who will benefit from it.

UNDEFINED TERMS

Not formally defined: Point, Line, Plane
How will people find out about this product/service/Web site/project? Mentioning vaguely that you'll use social media to get the word out is generally not sufficient. It's important to explain how you'll raise awareness for this in a marketplace that is increasingly cluttered with all sorts of new apps/sites/products/services launching every day. What techniques/tactics/tools will you use, or how will you go about taking advantage of existing or new platforms to reach your intended audience? How will you measure progress in reaching your audience? What will success look like in reaching your audience? What are key metrics/performance indicators that you'll be assessing as your project moves forward?

SEGMENT

A piece of a line with two end points
How will you make ends meet? What do you expect your primary three, five or 10 costs will be? What do you expect your primary revenue streams to look like, and how long do you expect it might take for you to get to that point? Why will people pay for your service/product and how will the value proposition differ from other products/services people are paying for?

RAY

One end point and other direction continues to infinity
What have you done in the past that has prepared you to take on this new challenge? Why are you well-suited to succeed in this venture? How will others help you, and what relevant skills/experience will they bring to the project? How will you go about building your team from here and adding necessary expertise?

OPPOSITE RAYS

Two rays that meet at their ending points to form a straight line
Fill in additional information here that will answer questions lingering in the audience. What does the competitive landscape look like? What are some obstacles you anticipate you'll have to overcome? How will your design approach distinguish your project? What unique approach/vision/ideals do you have that inform the project in progress?

COLLINEAR POINTS

Points that fall on the same line
What are the next steps you need to take? What are the key things you need to do to advance the project in the coming weeks and months? What is your timeline for moving forward? What does the roadmap for your project look like? What are your goals for the upcoming period?

COPLANAR

All in the same plane- Rubiks cube all four points in the same plane
What amount of money, or what other kind of help would be helpful to you in advancing your project? How can people contact you afterwards to offer help?

SPACE

An area with some structures like lines and points
What are the next steps you need to take? What are the key things you need to do to advance the project in the coming weeks and months? What is your timeline for moving forward? What does the roadmap for your project look like? What are your goals for the upcoming period?

INTERSECTION

What are the next steps you need to take? What are the key things you need to do to advance the project in the coming weeks and months? What is your timeline for moving forward? What does the roadmap for your project look like? What are your goals for the upcoming period?

CONGRUENT SEGMENTS

Two segments that have the same length 
What are the next steps you need to take? What are the key things you need to do to advance the project in the coming weeks and months? What is your timeline for moving forward? What does the roadmap for your project look like? What are your goals for the upcoming period?

MIDPOINT

The point at which two things are equadistant from eachother
What amount of money, or what other kind of help would be helpful to you in advancing your project? How can people contact you afterwards to offer help?
