Award Funding: Integrated Readiness Matrix
3 December 2025
In November 2025, we were awarded the funding by the Innovation & Research Caucus to develop the much-needed Integrated Readiness Matrix (IRM).
The innovation ecosystem is currently hampered by the fragmented use of separate readiness scales (TRL, CRL, MRL, SRL, among others). This ambiguity hinders effective decision-making, complicates investment and collaboration, and slows the crucial journey from research to market impact.
This project directly addresses the existing gap by creating the Integrated Readiness Matrix: a unified, single-table standard designed to provide a clear, holistic assessment of innovation maturity. Its core innovation is the standardised alignment and matching of the levels of all scales with corresponding metrics.
The resulting, publicly available Integrated Readiness Matrix (IRM) will replace fragmented approaches with a single tool that defines integrated, empirically derived metrics for every stage of development.
