Answer Book question
Take every number the promoter gives. yield, price, cost, mortality, timeline. and find the same number in a KAU, ICAR or state department publication. Then visit a farm running the system for at least three years that the promoter did not choose. Then ask the buyer the promoter names whether they actually buy at that price. If any of the three fails, the model fails.

A promoter shows a model farm with perfect rabbits and quotes ₹40 lakh a year. An independent farm visit reveals mortality above 30 percent, the "buyer" is the promoter's own buy-back scheme that pays late, and the state animal husbandry department has no data supporting the yields.
Institutional data is the baseline; independent farms are the reality check; buyer checking is the market check. Buy-back schemes where the promoter is also the buyer are a red flag.
Institutional yield and cost data Independent three-year farm visit Buyer checking independent of the promoter Mortality and failure data Input supply dependence on the promoter Buy-back terms in writing and the promoter's financial standing
