TRL

TRL, or Technology Readiness Level, is a measurement system that assesses how developed a new technology is, from initial concept to practical use. It ranges from 1 (basic idea or research) to 9 (fully operational and proven in real-world conditions). Think of it as a progress scale that helps organizations understand what stage a technology is at and what steps are needed to bring it into everyday use, ensuring resources are allocated appropriately during development and deployment.
