  16. Does KEEL learn?
  17. Is KEEL scalable?
  18. Is KEEL suitable for upgrading existing systems, or only for integration into new systems?
  19. How can you model physical systems with KEEL?
  20. Why do you call KEEL a "technology" rather than "tool"?
  21. What do you do if your domain experts don't think in curves?
  22. What do you do if there is more than one expert and they disagree?
  23. How can you use KEEL if you don't know what the outputs and inputs are?
  24. How are the concepts of "surprise" and "missing information" handled by KEEL Technology?
  25. Isn't the KEEL graphical language just another way to create a formula?
  26. How does the KEEL graphical language differ from other "graphical languages"?
  27. How does your "tool" compare to "LabVIEW" (National Instruments) or other similar HMI tools?
  28. What types of problems are best suited for a KEEL solution?
  29. What are some examples of "behavior", when you say that KEEL can be used to model "behavior"?
  30. How might KEEL be used to represent or model emergent behavior?

  43. What processors can you target?
  44. What "language" was used to create the KEEL "tools"?
  45. How easy is it to integrate KEEL Technology into an existing application?
  46. Why is licensing KEEL different than licensing a software tool like Microsoft Excel?
  47. Have you studied Tverskyi's paper, Gestalt psychology, Plato and all the others that have written extensively on decision-making in order to validate the KEEL decision-making model?
  48. Why do you use the Left-Brain / Right-Brain paradigm to explain KEEL when this particular comparison has been called a "psychology myth"?
  49. Who are your competitors (for KEEL)?
  50. What do I need to know to create KEEL-based solutions (to prepare for KEEL)?
