nonviability
Inability to succeed
Nonviability is the state of being unable to survive, succeed, or function as intended.
In medicine, it describes a fetus or pregnancy that cannot result in a live birth: The doctor confirmed the nonviability of the pregnancy.
More broadly, it applies to plans, businesses, or options that won't work: The nonviability of the proposal became clear after reviewing the costs.
