Technologische Reifegrade (TRL)

Technological Readiness Levels (TRL) is a systematic metric used to evaluate the maturity of a particular technology, ranging from its initial concept to full operational capability. This framework, typically spanning from TRL 1 (basic principles observed) to TRL 9 (actual system proven in operational environment), aids organizations in assessing the risks and feasibility of technology development. By providing a clear pathway for progression, TRLs facilitate informed decision-making in product design, innovation, research, and production processes.
