Technology Readiness Levels (TRLs)

TRL Overview

TRL 1: Basic Principles Observed and Reported: The starting point of scientific research translated into future research and development.

Understanding TRLs

Technology Readiness Levels, originally developed by NASA, provide a common understanding of technology status and address the entire innovation chain. At Aristoverse, we've adapted and enhanced this framework to suit the diverse range of technologies we work with.

TRL 2: Technology Concept and/or Application Formulated: Practical applications of basic principles are invented or identified.

TRL 3: Analytical and Experimental Critical Function and/or Characteristic Proof of Concept: Active research and development is initiated, including analytical and laboratory studies.

TRL 4: Technology Validated in Laboratory Environment: Basic technological components are integrated to establish that they will work together.

TRL 5: Technology Validated in Relevant Environment: The basic technological components are integrated with reasonably realistic supporting elements.

TRL 6: Technology Demonstrated in Relevant Environment: A representative model or prototype system is tested in a relevant environment.

TRL 7: System Prototype Demonstration in Operational Environment: Prototype near or at planned operational system, requiring demonstration of an actual system prototype in an operational environment.

TRL 8: Actual System Completed and Qualified Through Test and Demonstration: Technology has been proven to work in its final form and under expected conditions.

TRL 9: Actual System Proven in Operational Environment: The final product is successfully applied in real-world conditions.
