  • Learn how Technology Readiness Levels (TRLs) help policymakers and investors assess emerging tech and navigate hype cycles in the age of industrial policy and innovation.

The article by Shalin Jyotishi on Forbes discusses the concept of Technology Readiness Levels (TRLs) as a tool to navigate the hype cycles surrounding new technologies. TRLs, originally developed by NASA, provide a systematic metric to assess the maturity of a technology from basic principles (TRL 1) to fully operational systems (TRL 9). The article explains how TRLs help in distinguishing between technologies that are merely hyped and those that are genuinely ready for practical application. It highlights the importance of understanding where a technology stands on this scale to make informed decisions about investment, development, and implementation. Jyotishi points out that while TRLs are not perfect, they offer a more grounded perspective than the often misleading peaks and troughs of hype cycles, aiding stakeholders in technology sectors to better manage expectations and resources.
