How can you evaluate technological readiness and feasibility?

A lot of hardware startups oftentimes struggle with creating a milestone and phase gate based roadmap. TRLs could be used not only to create a progression of the hardware maturity & understanding around the system, but could also be helpful in determining technical strategy, hiring and operational growth of the company.

In my mission to bridge sustainability and design, I view Technology Readiness Levels (TRLs) as a crucial roadmap. These levels, from concept to real-world application, align with my goal of creating equitable, regenerative solutions. Like mapping socio-environmental sacrifice zones, TRLs help pinpoint gaps in technology development, ensuring our initiatives are ready for meaningful impact, just as a map guides us on our journey.

Feasibility studies are like the vibrant colors on a canvas of innovation. Just as I blend diverse elements in my work to create a harmonious whole, these studies weave together the technical, economic, social, and environmental threads of a project. They are the compass guiding us through the wilderness of ideas, helping us navigate towards a destination where equitable sustainability thrives. Just as I embrace various disciplines in my journey, feasibility studies embrace multiple methods and tools, ensuring we tread confidently towards a future where our innovations not only survive but flourish in a world that desperately needs them.

So, technology assessment is like crafting a vibrant mural. Just as we blend art, design, and social justice, a technology assessment brings together various disciplines to create a holistic masterpiece. It's like choosing the right colors and brush strokes to ensure that your innovation not only looks stunning but also leaves a positive impact on society. With scenario analysis, foresight, and a touch of participatory methods, you're not just an artist; you're a visionary who considers the ethical, legal, and social canvas upon which your creation will be displayed. It's the art of innovation with a conscience, much like my own mission of creating equitable and regenerative experiences. So, let's paint a brighter future together! 🎨✨

As someone deeply immersed in the world of impact design, I've come to appreciate the importance of assessing technology readiness. It's like crafting a masterpiece: just as an artist assesses their tools and materials, a technology readiness assessment evaluates the readiness of our tools for creating a sustainable future. Think of it as the checklist before embarking on an epic journey. Much like an adventurer ensuring they have the right gear, a TRA helps us identify what's needed to bring a technology to life, mitigate potential challenges, and ensure it's ready to make a positive impact on our world. So, just as I curate experiences in art and design, a TRA curates the path to a more sustainable and equitable society.

In my mission to create a more equitable and sustainable world, I see the Technology Evaluation Framework (TEF) as a crucial tool. It aligns with my approach of blending different perspectives and disciplines. TEF's dimensions, like technology maturity and impact, mirror the diverse aspects I consider. Just as my work evolves, so does the evaluation process, ensuring that our innovations stay aligned with our mission. TEF empowers us to make informed decisions and improve our impact continually.

From Transformation perspective the projected RO - Retained Organization is important while analyzing the technical readiness and feaibility. Retained Organization includes resources such as People, Process, Practice that wil be retained post transformation and they are co-related when technology readiness and feasibility is concerned. Based on the maturity level and complexity of technology being used in the organization the RO can be determined. One classic example could be the application being used in the organization for a critical process and what would be the cost if the same became critical at the time of evaluating the resources as part of the RO. It impacts all the three resources mentioned above and helps in chasing the readiness
