neutral  Boris Shapiro: У словосочетания the way forward сложился вполне конкретный контекст применения и значение - когда говорят о желаемом (даже настоятельно) пути развития или выхода из ситуации. Здесь это, по-моему, не подходит.

neutral  Boris Shapiro: I think It might not necessarily mean 'chances' (that is, failing or succeeding), but something like 'feasibility'. Hard to say without more context, really.
