0️⃣ IDEA・Concept unproven, no experiments conducted
1️⃣ BASIC RESEARCH・Needs are described, for now, without proof of feasibility
2️⃣ TECHNOLOGY FORMULATION・Concepts and applications are formulated and described
3️⃣ VALIDATION NEED・You have formulated a goal, stakeholders follow you

4️⃣ PROTOTYPE REDUCED SCALE・Prototype "in lab"
5️⃣ PROTOTYPE REAL (QUASI) SIZE・Prototype in use environment

6️⃣ PROTOTYPING OF SYSTEM・Testing in real environment, performance close to target
7️⃣ DEMONSTRATEUR・Functioning in real environment, pre-commercial stage

8️⃣ COMPLETE AND QUALIFIED SYSTEM・Qualified and tested technical and commercial processes
9️⃣ COMMERCIALIZED SYSTEM・Technology available to customers
