Not Applicable                 Deeper Research is Needed           Maybe Applicable

Note;
Existence:                                                      Accessibility:
5: Identified immediately                                     5: It can be easily used
4: Easy to identify                                             4: It can be used with little constraints
3: Identified with the aid of instruments                 3: May require additional technologies
2: Difficult to identify                                          2: The source is not enough
1: Very difficult to identify                                   1: Cannot be used
