Answer:-
Four Factor
Value Matrix by Matt Kuppers is.

Frequency |
Barriers |
Scalability |
As an investor, I will apply this matrix in the following ways:-
1) Need:- The company should have knowledge about the need of the customer and make the product and service available in the most effective way.
2) Frequency:-This determines the frequency of product exposure to customers using various forms of marketing strategy and making the customer aware of the products. Repeated exposure can create an interaction between customer and brand, more product knowledge, and a positive impact on purchase intention.
3) Barriers:- It relates to having good market knowledge and being aware of any obstacles that can block the company to enter a given market. The types of barriers can be technical challenges, economic size, government policy, costs, and competitors.
4) Scalability:- Determining how scalable are the business for future adaptation and changes for the company's growth and determine any error.
b)
The modification of the business model that would allow them to grow the business and revenue are:-
1) Can make more options available like fund transactions, shopping from the crypto card.
2) Developing on the blockchain.
3) Creating new cryptocurrency products like your own currency.
