TRL1: Basic principles observedWe have conducted paper studies confirm basic principles. Results are compiled and evaluated. 4We have initial scientific observations reported in journals/conference proceedings/technical reports. 3We have formulated and defined research hypothesis. 4
TRL2: Technology concept formulatedWe have defined and described basic elements of technology. 4We conducted rigorous analytical studies that confirm basic principles. 3We have formulated and described technology concept. 3
TRL3: Experimental proof of conceptWe completed and reported about analytical studies to predict the performance of separate elements of the technology in appropriate context.
3
We showcased/ demonstrated proof of concept, and obtained results are reported and assessed. 3We identified and described market opportunities (technology use cases) to do assessment and prioritization.
