PROCESS / 01SEED TO BUSINESS
Move from a research seed to a testable business hypothesis.
Start with the work a user needs done, not only the technical feature. Verify the value, rights questions, delivery model, support, and the next decision at each stage.
STAGES
Build evidence one decision at a time.
Use each stage to reduce a specific uncertainty before increasing the scale or cost of the next test.
- Identify a user and unmet workflow need.
- Define a bounded field test and evidence.
- Clarify rights, roles, and operating ownership.
- Decide whether to transfer, form a company, or stop.
OUTPUT
Leave a clear basis for the next organization.
Document the use case, evidence, open questions, and responsibility boundaries so a TLO, startup, adopter, or investor can assess the next step.
- Use-case and value hypothesis
- Test evidence and unresolved risks
- Operating and handover conditions
