English term or phrase: viable
can you please gime me a synonym for "viable" in these conexts???

1) "Usually the redemption factor is about fifteen or twenty percent, but big practices have beendoubled or tripled because of it. I can't promise it'll double, but I can tell you it's a very viable ap-proach and it's very credible and qualitative."

2) "I feel this formula is about as long-term viable as anyone could give you for as little down-side."

3) "Half of these publications will entertain joint ventures. Half of them will not, though theywill still rent you their list if they think that it's clean, viable offer."

4)"And the opportunities cannot be informal, ad hoc, sort of shoot from the hip non-strategic,unless you want to get your lunch handed to you.
And if you get your lunch handed to you, we have no probability of you ever being around tobe a viable client.We only want winners."

5)"It seems to me there might be a more efficient way. Ask them to tell you what the three orfour or five most viable categories, in other words, of all the kinds of businesses, there's probablythree or four types or industries or generic sorts of businesses that are 10 or 15 times better pros-pects than the rest."

6) You have clients you've previously consulted with that haveno viable need for your services today and yet, you've invested an immense amount of time, capital,and human capital and emotion in, you owe it to yourself in these very, very critical and challengingand costly and bottom line oriented times to get the greatest residual benefit you can ethically fromthat investment, don't you"
