Tiger Services
EARLY STAGE SERVICES
A Low Technology Readiness Level (LOW TRL), as understood by TIGER, refers to solutions, products or services that are in the early stages of development. These concepts are typically at the research or concept stage, where basic principles have been explored but practical implementation, testing or validation is limited. At this stage, the focus is often on establishing feasibility, refining ideas and providing a basis for further development.
>> You have a solution, product or service that is at an early stage of development? See TIGER Services 1 to 4.
ADVANCED STAGE SERVICES
High Technology Readiness Level (HIGH TRL), as understood by TIGER, refers to solutions, products or services that have moved beyond the initial stages of development and are either market-ready or close to market-readiness. These innovations may have undergone extensive testing, validation and refinement, demonstrating their reliability, functionality and suitability for practical application, or they may be looking for a service to help in these areas. At this stage, the focus increasingly shifts to commercialization, deployment and scaling as the product or service is prepared to effectively meet market and customer needs.
